Right now I'm reading something like eight books, but the one I started yesterday (and will possibly finish today), is Nelson Polsby's How Congress Evolves: Social Bases of Institutional Change, which is this fascinating account of the development of the House of Representatives from 1947-present.

Unfinished:
Through The Storm - Lynn Spears (halfway)
The Education of a Bodybuilder - Arnold Schwarzenegger (Over halfway)
Night - Elie Wiesel (20-30 pages away from the end)
Currently reading:
This is the sequel to The Chosen, which I read some time back (and loved).
I started Wednesday and read some at night while on a trip and I'm on page 90-something, which is huge for me to read so much in so short a time. Today it's busy at work so I'm looking to maybe finish it on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday at work (it's 368 pages long).
It's an AWESOME book, and deals with Judaism and therapy, two of my favorite subjects. Just getting to the therapy part.

The Road- I finished No Country For Old Men (excellent btw), and picked this up to read before the movie came out (though I suppose I have more time to do that now). I'm abot 50 pages in and loving it. Magnificently bleak and haunting, and nothing has even happened yet.

When I went on sick call once in AIT I read "Congo" in one day. It was a great read.
Right now, "The Korsun Pocket: The Encirclement and Breakout of a German Army in the East, 1944".
Also the last of the Rigante books by Gemmell, "Stormrider" and the "Full Metal Panic" manga.
