It's Terry Pratchett's "Making Money". I haven't really STARTED it yet, but will, soon.

Just finished A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare. Meh. I was the few people who understood it, but it wasn't that good of a book. Mediocre at best.

World War Z by Max Brooks.

Great book, well written and the realistic approach makes it well worth my time.
Very good read, read that book more than four times.

Im just finishing up the Harry Potter series. Great stuff.
It's AMAZING! The characters, the intricate plot----- I'm sorry, I get a little emotional at how amazing it is. ;)
No, in all seriousness if you haven't read this series I would recommend it; it's as famous as it is for good reason.

Right now I'm reading Royal Assassin, by Robin Hobb, second in the first trilogy. Good stuff, though lacking a bit in tension I'm still very hooked because I know the author's slowly working her way up to something big. It's a feeling I don't always find in books these days. Robin Hobb = Recommended.

Just Finished: "A Feast For Crows" by George R. R. Martin. Great book in a Excellent series.

Just started: "The Summoner" by Gail Z. Martin. Having a little trouble buckling down and getting into it, only about 38 or 40 pages thus far.


Stupid Public Library didn't have R. R. Martin's "A Dance With Dragons" in the selection =(

Waiting eagerly for the last book of the Wheel of Time later this year as well.

Lolita.

Damn, just damn.

That is a book that everyone has to read, even if you find it a struggle about 3/4s of the way through. Absolutly fantastic.
You've peaked my interest, I'm gonna look this one up now...

...might I ask what it's about?

...or is it pretty obvious from the title...
It is about a man named Humbert Humbert who is attracted to, and obsessing over a 12 year old girl named Lolita. It chronicles Humbert's life as he attempts to woo her. Thats all I am going to say.

Its written beautifully as it combines the horrid nature of Humbert's fixation with Lolita with such amazing language.

The "Foundation Trilogy" (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation) by the Master Issac Assimov. One of the best books I've read!

For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Sheldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future?to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire?both scientists and scholars?and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a fututre generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun?or fight them and be destroyed.
AND

The "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series, by Douglas Adams.

Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You'll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker's Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and British sitcoms.
EDIT: There's still some "on hold" or partially read book and series, like Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" and physics/mathematics/probability books.
