Currently, making my way through The Mammoth Book of Fantasy. It's a short story anthology, with stuff by Moorcock, Vance, Dunsany, Leiber, LeGuin, Ellison, Zelazny, and Howard, among others. I'll probably be done with it in a few hours, though.
Next up is the Dragonlance novel Brothers in Arms, and after that, some cheap crime novel, Bullet for a Star I picked up a while ago, by Stuart Kaminsky. After that, Warhound and the World's Pain, by Michael Moorcock. And after those, about thirty other books that have accumulated in my shelves.

Right now: Turning Point, the second new Thieves' World book. After that... hmm. Don't know. Probably Dragon Bones by Patricia Briggs. Found out there is a new hardback Ethshar novel, so of course I must get that.

Since it's been about 2 months since I started it, I'm going to start A Game of Thrones from the beginning and finish it this time. 
Will also be starting the first book of the Deathgate Cycle based on multiple recommendations. And if the new R.A. Salvatore book, Immortalis is out this month I will be reading that the day it hits the stands.

Good choice. I'm constantly amazed by his ability to generate ...um.... vivid ...um... images. The Scar is on my shelf waiting to be read.
I just gulped down a bunch of short stories for the Hugo nominations. Usually I do a pretty good job of covering the material, but this year I really slacked off. Anyway, some hightlights from my reading:
Robert Reed: She Sees My Monsters Now. (June Asimovs) Reed sure can draw a character. The SF world is really just a set for his sociopath to play with. Creepy.
Paul McAuley: The Passenger. (March Asimovs) I've really enjoyed McAuley's short stories set in grim post-X futures. Like Interstitial from a few years ago, this one also features an isolated team stuck between the proverbial rock-and-hard-place. (Or between a rock-and-a-stone, as one big-breasted Survivor contestant supposedly said on camera. But I digress.)
Michael Swanwick:The Little Cat... (Oct Asimovs) Swanwick has done some of my favorite short stories over the last few years. This is a sequel and the genre is post-Apocalyptic Steampunk Victorian Comedy. Really. If you've never thought of a world where a genetically-enhanced dog can run a confidence scam in Paris then this story is guaranteed to surprise you even further.

I'm currently reading The Sorceror, the third book of the return of Shade trilogy (the return of the Netherese to Faerun in the Forgotten Realms). I'm also reading Drakas, stories of alternate history featuring a world where the Dutch joined the American Revolution (along with the French, against the British), lost their end of the war, had South Africa taken away, and the Loyalists of the Colonies were transplanted to South Africa instead of Canada. The losing Southerners after the American Civil War join them, and the Drakas start taking over the world. Scary stuff...
I don't think I'm going to order the Domination book (the three books that make up the Draka alternate history, combined into one book). I am considering ordering the second and third book of the Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri trilogy.
Suggestions on what books to buy would be appreciated. I've got about $45 of gift certificates for Waldenbooks coming in, and I'd actually like to spend them. (Just so people know, if you lose the gift certificates, they'll replace them. In California, also, they don't expire.)
