Gave up about half way through [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Name-Wind-Kingkiller-Chronicles-Day/dp/0756405890/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320263487&sr=1-1"]The Name of the Wind[/ame] by Patrick Rothfuss.
This is pretty much why I'm hesitant to pick up any book over 500 pages; too much minutia and too little actually happening.

Currently enjoying [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Song-Dragon-Annals-Drakis-Book/dp/0756406730/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320263601&sr=1-1"]Song of the Dragon[/ame] by Tracy Hickman.
 

Finally reading A Dance With Dragons. Amazon messed up my initial order, but I did get a refund for that, so there. So far it's much better than Feast, but somewhat worse than Storm (but then again, aSoS was almost perfect).

Also reading Snuff. It's brilliant and Pratchett still has his way with the words.
 

I'm reading through A Dance with Dragons. It's slow going.....I'm enjoying it, and I can feel it's starting to build towards something....but admittedly it was hard to get into....it's been 6 years since A Feast for Crows, so there are a lot of characters that I've forgotten about, and only put two and two together after I've already been reading about them for several pages.

Aside from that, a troll on a message board about the TV show popped into a thread I was reading to find out when Season 2 came out, and basically did a drive by and gave away the ending of the book :(. It just doesn't feel the same, knowing in advance what's about to happen.

I'm also working on Twenty Years Later by Alexandre Dumas.

Finished Catching Fire and just started Mockingjay, the last book in the Hunger Games trilogy. Pretty decent books, I can see why it's being made into a movie.

Almost done with Wizard's First Rule. I enjoyed Legend of the Seeker while it was on, this is...certainly different. But in a good way. :)

Also working through Arcanis, and while I never got into Living Arcanis in it's d20 days, I'm liking what I'm reading so far.

There's a lot to the ending, a lot of different stuff happening to different characters, so unless he was both very thorough and you patiently read it all, there might still be some surprises for you. :)
 


I'm slowly making my way through "Spock's World".

I was given a box full of old Star Trek novels awhile ago. So far quite a few of them seem to read like a sci-fi equivalent of "junk food for the mind".
 


Enjoying the Thrawn Trilogy right now.

The clone wars era as described in the Thrawn trilogy sounds far more interesting than what we actually got out of the prequel material. :hmm:
