Just started Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita . I've been wanting to for a while, and finding out about the Poe references in the book caught my attention.

I finished "Running With Scissors" about a week ago. I'm about to start "The Tenth Circle" by Jodi Picoult.

Ooh, The Crucible is one of the few books I had to read that I liked. Very good book.
I just finished Phantom of the Opera for the umpteenth time...

I'm reading a collection of Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey short stories. I love detective stories.

Earth in the Balance by Al Gore. It's outdated(1992) but it's the most interesting of the global warming/ecology books I've been using for my English paper, so I've been using it to get ideas for what I can write about next and then searching through the more recent books and stuff for information.

The Catcher in the Rye. Not for school or anything, I just randomly decided to read it. Yeah, I'm wierd. Not sure how I like it so far. All I can say is, I can see why it got on banned books lists. And I've barely started.
