I just started American Gods. Took me till page 72 to figure out who Mr. Wednsday was, at which point I kicked myself for not realizing it earlier 
EDIT: Finished. I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected, but it was interesting. Ah well.

Reading the combo of Earthsea short stories and The Other Wind (collated by the Science Fiction book club.)

Right now, Vol 1 of Hamilton's The Reality Disfunction. After that, either Vol 2 or the new Harry Dresden hardback, which should be out Any Time Now instead of in August when the paperback books were normally released. After that? Maybe the Dalemark quartet, or another try at Huff's Smoke and Mirrors.

I finished the Aubrey-Maturin books, after which my life was hollow and empty without a new one waiting for me to read.
Then a visit to Portland, and of course Powell's Bookstore, gave new fuel for my project to read everything listed in Appendix N: Inspirational and Recommended Reading of Gygax's original Dungeon Master's Guide. I just finished two of the more obscure ones, Leigh Brackett's "The Sword of Rhiannon" and Margaret St. Clair's "Sign of the Labrys", and am now re-reading Sterling E. Lanier's "Hiero's Journey", which I enjoyed the hell out of in sixth grade. Didja know that's where the Rod of Lordly Might* comes from?
*That AD&D magic item where you press studs on the rod to make different weapon-tips shoot out and activate spell-like powers, if you're not up on your 1E trivia.

Well reading Beyond the High Road now during my lunch hours at work, should have that finished in a couple days and then into Death of the Dragon.
Finished Atlantis Found, great book which I'll probably use as an adventure in the Spycraft GI Joe campaign I'm, working on, because as written it should slot perfectly into that universe with very little work from me, and will make a change from the groups usual battles with Cobra.
Got Temple Hill sat on my shelf ready to read, and by the time I've finished that one, Farthest Reach should be out, which I'm really looking forward too because Forsaken House was a hellishly good read!
