Right now my main read is "The Sky So Big & Black" by John Barnes. This is the first book of his that I've read & the one of his that was recommended to me the most. Been really fun so far, although I'd really like to get "Orbital Resonance". Have an itch right now for a coming of age story set on a space station that isn't anime or manga, that one seems the closest.

'A clash of kings' and 'your keys to driving in Queensland.' Why I should need to know the road rules before getting my license..... bah!

I'm reading the Inheritance Cycle. Eragon came out when I was in middle school, time flies by.

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder.

About two thirds of the way through. The first bit was pretty rough to read, but after the first thirty pages or so it really became quite gripping. Right now I'm at the stage of many questions: Will they get together? Will she survive? What is the brown stuff? Who is behind the plot? Is there more than one plot? Is that general really evil?

Fun so far...

Robin Hobb - Assassin's Apprentice. It's been pretty good so far, although one implausible comment about the relative infrequency of royal bastards had me in stitches. There are an awful lot of families with the surnames starting with 'Fitz' in the world.

Sharps by K.J. Parker. It's my first novel by him/her (it's a pseudonym and nobody knows who the real author is), and it's... alright. It's accessible, but I'm just not feeling it right now for some reason.

Just finished "The Palace Job" by Brett Weekes (Bioware employee). It's a fluffy fun read, not so great with characters, decent plot and plenty of action.

The 11th Wheel of Time book. The 10th really dragged on, so I'm glad to be onto this one. I'm trying to savour it too, seeing as it's the last actually written by Robert Jordan, even if Brandon Sanderson's my favourite author.

I want to have them all finished by the time the last one comes out, but I never have time, so it's looking unlikely.

I'm soon to read The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski. In case you don't know, it's one of the Witcher books. The link leads to an (awesome) fan translation.

I love the series. Shame "The Lady of the Lake" is not as strong as the rest of the books in the saga.

The Dragon Age comic "Those who speak."
In case comics don't count, I'm about to start with "Terry Goodkind, Winzard's First Rule" as well. :)

Just read "Princess Bride" , really good (well mostly the tale part , the part about the fictionnal author was slightly boring)

This book is kind of famous ,for some unknown reason i thought Princess Bride was an anime....
So I never cared about it when i heard people mentionning it.

For school, A Doll House. The first act was actually pretty interesting though.

Hawk's Flight by Carol Chase. It's enjoyable so far. She's obviously read her Georgette Heyer and similar romances as she gently explodes some tropes from that genre. That being said, it isn't anything like a regency.

It's a shame she doesn't appear to have written anything else.

Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick

I loved The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and this was nearly as good.
