Whatcha reading these days?

I'll confess I haven't read many books in recent months. Got anything you want to recomend?

Feel free to drop them in the comments. I'd love to know what my readers are reading when they're not scoffing at my juvenile scribblings.

UPDATE: I'm going to leave this post at the top for a while. I've got a notion to revamp the site format. Most experiments will occur offline, but forgive me if the site goes all "Architecture-by-Budweiser" at some point while I test drive some things.
