I just finished (for the third time) Oath of Fealty by Elizabeth Moon, and the only reason I stopped at three times is that it was due back at the library.
And I'm halfway through Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett.

Started reading "Three by Vonnegut." A three-in-one; Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse 5 and Breakfast of Champions. I think I liked Galapagos better but it is too soon to tell. Also planning on re-reading The Deathly Hallows in preperation for the first half of the seventh HP film.

I am also re-reading Deathly Hallows!
And I have been (re-)reading the poetry of John Donne (1572-1631).

Catch 22 for me - the nth time i have read it and it always gets me. the part where the 'catch' is explained to Yossarian will live with as he says - 'that's some catch'

I just finished last night (in one gulp) The Final Solution by Michael Chabon. I have tried his prize-winning novel and could not make head or tail of it, but this one I recommend highly.

And every now and then (somewhere in the early mornings, with coffee, usually) I'll run through one of Shakespeare's plays. The last one was Merchant of Venice.

I am enjoying (for the second time; the first one was last year) the "Monster Blood Tattoo" series by D. M. Cornish. I recommend these highly. They are the kind of books that need to be read more than once, so you can notice and enjoy more details every time.
The first one is "Foundling." The second one is "Lamplighter." The third one is due sometime next year and will be entitled "Factotum."
