So far this month, I've gone through The Last Juror, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Freakonomics. Next up is Honeymoon (James Patterson). I still want to get through the Historian and A Long Way Down, as I posted earlier in this thread.

Life of Pi - it took me quite a while to get into this book, but now I think about reading it when I'm not - excellent - about 1/3 of the way into it
Enders Game - Just beginning to read this one

Just started listening to Anthony Swofford's Jarhead unabridged CD set on my hour drive to and from work. I just started reading John Crawford's The Last Story I'll Ever Tell.
Next up is Generation Kill by Evan Wright & Jack Coughlin's Shooter

Sessa thanks for point out that author. I love water moster books so I'm definately going to check some of his stuff out when I get through my current "to read" pile.
Reading Richard Laymon's "The Island" now and listening to Dean Koontz's "False Memory".

I just started The Crackup by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Edit: Should note it's a collection of biographical shorts.

Lunar Park on the other hand was amazing, and is probably one of my favorite Ellis books now.

After a hiatus, I am now continuing with Tad Williams' Otherland series and just starting Volume Three, "Mountain of Black Glass".
As I have some travelling coming up, I'm hoping to read a good few books during September.

I'm trying to read Steve Altan's "MEG" about a Megaladon Shark but it's hard getting into it. Not that the book is bad, it's just me. I go through these "not in the mood to read books" mood every once in a while so right now Comics are about all I'm interested in. Other times I can't stop reading books. I'm also waiting for one of the Dune prequels called "The Battle of Corrin" to hit the paperbacks this month. I know I won't be able to put that one down.
The funning this is although I'm not in the book reading mood, I've actually been thinking of re-reading Clive Barker's "IMAJICA".
It's a long ass complex book that originally took me a few years to read. But for some reason I think I'll be able to get through it with a better understanding of all that goes on in the book. Hell, it was so long it'll be just like reading a new book.
