Dracula right now. So far, it is very intoxicating. I can't help but me mesmerized by the Count's story.

I've just finished reading "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle, I'm currently reading a non-fiction book about quantum theory at the moment but it's quite a thick book and all that maths is giving me a headache so I'm thinking I may finally start on a new book tonight. Not sure what yet though... *trots over to my bookshelf*

Rereading Harry Potter and the Sorcerers/Philosopher's Stone, it's been years since I picked up this series. I've been reading a lot lately but few things have really touched me in the past few years. I'm hoping Harry Potter will give me that old feeling again you know?

Got a Nook the other day, and loaded some stuff onto it. I've already finished one book (The Floating Islands, by Rachel Neumeier), and it was pretty good. I'm browsing this thread for stuff I might be interested in.

Right now I'm reading Furies of Calderon. I've heard a lot of good things about the Codex Alera series, and so far I'm really enjoying it. The writing is excellent, and the story is good so far. I'm not far enough in to totally know what's going on, but it's definitely caught my interest.

Just cracked open Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. Been putting it off for a couple of years now, but if the rest of the book is as good as the first chapter, it may well be the classic many people I know have said it to be.

Just finished A Fraction Of The Whole by Steve Toltz. Amazing, amazing, amazing, book.

Next up: The Portrait Of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde. I've heard very good things, expectations are high.

Finished Erle Stanley Gardner's The Case of the Duplicate Daughter (a Perry Mason mystery, 1960 -- a real period piece, of course) yesterday, and then started in on a four-novel volume of Perry Mason novels (in a Canadian edition, with punctuation and spelling in accord). Those stories are artifacts of a time long past, but still very entertaining (and sometimes slightly jarring).

Imzadi by Peter David. It's a Star Trek novel, light reading, very amusing. After I finish that, I'm going to go straight into the sequel, Imzadi II. Then probably Game of Thrones, which I have, or Hunger Games, which I want to get.
