Now I have three novels in hand...not sure which one to pick
Catch-22 [wikipedia.org]
Stranger in a Strange Land [wikipedia.org]
Snow Crash [wikipedia.org]
I finished Catch 22 a little while ago. It was really good. I haven't read any of the other ones.
After Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (which was AWESOME!) I re-read my "trashy" pick of Hit List by Laurell K Hamilton. I started the Anita Blake series long before it got all romance novely. Hit List got back to some of the great fight scenes. Still kinda cheesy though.
Next up is Slaughter House Five. I tried reading Jailbird, but found it boring a quarter of the way through and gave up. I really liked some of his other novels.
I'm also reading Don't Know Much About History. It is a good source for us adults who didn't pay attention in History class and now actually want to know history!

DH just started re-reading it and is already hassling me to read it again. I will, just not yet.
I've been reading my head off! Just re-read the Hunger Games series in anticipation of the movie next week, and read "Lights Out" by David Crawford. It's a self-published book about the aftermath of an EMP. Not great, but interesting enough for me to read the whole thing and it was pretty long so it took forever to read when I only read in the carpool line and before bed.
I'm sure there have been a few others. Right now I'm reading a collection of dystopian short stories, but I'm not loving it. I may abandon it and move on to something else. It's depressing to read short snippets of miserable lives with no redeeming qualities.
I just finished the first two "Wool [hughhowey.com]" novellas which were awesome but I don't want to pay $0.99 for #3 if Amazon will let me borrow it next month for free. So I'm re-reading Armor by John Steakley (again).
I watched Season One and started reading the books. I have been on Book Four: A Feast for Crows since November, I think. It is so frustrating to read when new characters get added in that I absolutely don't care about. I hit one of these chapters and leave it for a month until I read a few chapters, run into another character I don't give a crap about, and leave it again for a month.
My boyfriend just got Dance with Dragons and started re-reading book three. Now he is thinking he might have to re-read the whole series to try and pick up on the little things he never noticed before.
It has really been such a great series! I am so tired of these dull filler characters though. I am ready to finish this book! It shouldn't take this long!
Oh yeah, and waiting for "Bob" to die did end up taking much longer in the book than I expected. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting! I would get all excited, and realize it wasn't going to happen yet

I like dwarf, dog, Snow, beauty, dragonlady, and the kingslayer chapters the best. Its funny how I naturally go for the Starks unless its a dwarf or KS chapter.

Got them free on my nook from Baen Books.
Haven't tried the Lincoln book - may have to give it a whirl!
I'm reading Unbroken [amazon.com]right now.
before that, i read the original version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. [wikipedia.org] i didn't really like it; it was very short and not nearly as dark as i was led to believe.
before that, i continued my Christopher Moore run with Coyote Blue. [wikipedia.org] i read a couple of his and enjoyed them, so i'm now starting at the beginning and reading them in order of release. he's a better writer in the later books, but the early ones are still enjoyable.

I tore through A Feast for Crows in about 4 days. As for myself I'm on A Dance with Dragons about 1/4 -1/3 of the way done and I've stalled for about 2 weeks not doing any reading.
