I'm currently reading two books. I've just started "The Silmarillion" by Tolkien, and I'm having a tough time getting into it. The other book I'm reading is "Lies - And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" by Al Franken.

Three books at once! READY SET GO!
The Jungle- Upton Sinclair
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn- Mark Twain
Their eyes were Watching God- Zora Hurtson
I just finished Uncle Tom's Cabin, the book got realy good in the last 100 pages, when everybody is either geting beaten, converted, dieing, or escaping from the plantation, and then it beats you upside the head with the most unfitting ending of all time.

The Jungle is a pretty good book, well, to me anyway.
(P.S. SWISS!!! :O)

Still reading Overtime by Tom Holt but have just bought and started reading Jennifer Government by Max Barry. (I already have my own country, Melmiteia, in the online game based on it: Nationstates)
FYI after finishing both of the above books I plan on embarking on my biggest reading project ever. Homer's Illiad(sp?) AND The Oddessy. Greek mythologitastic!

Gossip Times Three - Amy Goldman Koss
Very confusing book x_x; The author keeps rambling, and I always have to keep rechecking the beginning of long paragraphs to remind myself what her original point was.

... Still Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. I've actually finished that story and am reading the other short stories in the book. Groan. On the other hand, I'm done with A Tale of Two Cities.
Done with The Outsider by Camus, Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Marquez, and Therese Raquin by Zola. All very gloomy texts about murder for Eng. Lit.
I can't wait until I can hit the other six books I've borrowed.

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. Yet again another book I have to analyze to death for my english teacher's Book Analyses. That'll be 6 down, 3 to go.
Although, I must admit, I'm only on the 2nd page and the BA is due next Thursday.
Time to bring out the Procrastination poster!

Ibsen - A Doll's House.
Actually not that bad, for an English/Literature text.
