Just finished Penn Jillette's "God, No!" about a week or two ago.
Currently working my way, simultaneously through Dean Koontz' "Strangers," "Watchers," "Phantoms," and "Twilight Eyes", depending on where I'm reading. I haven't read any of them in about 20 years, though they've all managed to stay pretty fresh in my mind fir sine reason. There are a handful of books from that time period that managed to really stick in my brain.
After the Kindle (currently "Strangers") is free, I'm thinking about finally getting around to reading the Dresden Files.

Legend
Just under halfway through "Return of the Black Company" (Glen Cook), the third omnibus in that series. Or, to put it another way, I've just started "She is the Darkness". Next up will be "A Town Like Alice" by Nevil Shute, and then "Towers of Midnight" by Jordan/Sanderson.
Halfway through "Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Edition", which I'm reading in preparation for running a one-shot game later this year. The only other RPG books I expect to read this year are the regular Pathfinder Adventure Path books, with the next one due to arrive any day now.

Just started [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline/dp/030788743X]Ready Player One[/ame], by Ernest Cline last night.
It's about the quest to uncover the secret Easter egg, buried in a future MMO/Augmented Reality Game by the game's billionaire creator upon his death. The clues to find the reward are hidden amid clues and references to 80's nostalgia, geeky references, and all manner of nerdery.

The Cripple and the Staff Vol.1 (Those That rise From Legend) by M.M. Mancey. Just started it last night.

Another fun romp in the Nightside. While I love the banter, I feel that John and Suzie are overcoming all challenges a little too easily.

Aside from The Color of Magic, the more I read this series the more I've come to appreciate the writing, setting and characters.

I have a hard time reading Morrison. He seems to abruptly jump from story to story but when he returns to one story, it's like he skipped a scene or two.

Not as good as the first volume but still one of the better Superman stories I've read in a while.

Good story.
Haven't read anything from the new 52, but I seem to be more of a DC guy than a Marvel one.
