I have almost finished unpacking all my books (from a move 6 months ago) and I think that I am going to re-read Robert Holdstock's Mythago Woods again. It has been about 10 years since I last read it.
I don't read alot of books because I spend so much time playing games, but I do always make sure to check out any new installments to "The Dresden Files" series.
Nowadays most of my reading time is spent on fanfiction :P
Finished the Hunger games a few weeks ago which is a quick but good read. Before that I read A dream of Eagles(for my American brothers it is published as The Camulod Chronicles) by Jack Whyte who I highly recommend to anyone who likes historical novels that deal with king arthur, the founding of camulod and the skystone that made excalibur. Right now re-reading the wheel of time series again until I can decide on what new book to focus on.
I read all three books of the Hunger Games and I really wish I hadn't. I genuinely enjoyed the first book, but the second was a huge disappointment. I was discouraged from reading the third because of the huge drop from the first two, but I was hopeful that it was more akin to the first so I read it anyway.
I guess my next read will be the Pax Britannia series ( http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/series/pax-britannia/ ) , a bit Steampunk now and than wont hurt, not like Wheels of Annoyment or some silly such (no trollbait here, move along)
Ummm dont like reading any thing but Manga but the last thing I read was the two Guild wars books.... yup guild wars and there waiting game forced me to read 2 freaking books..... This game will own my soul......
I'm currently reading Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things, a collection of short fiction and wonders. His story "A Study in Emerald" is especially good; it's a story in which Sherlock Holmes meets the world of H. P. Lovecraft.
I'm currently reading Bernard Cornwell's 'Sharpe's Triumph'. I've just finished 'Sharpe's Tiger' (I'm going through this series 'chronologically', as opposed to date of publishing).

That is one awesome series, as you will or surely already noticed the books get even better as further along you are reading them...
...Sharpe gets more fleshed out and best of all, it stays like a realistic description of its time and people.
tbh I liked the second hunger games book better than the first. *Peeta troll ftw* And I've yet to read the third.
I'm not doing so much reading as I am writing... I hope my novel will really stir things up in the literature world, ever since the dark days that is twilight.
I have just started reading the Earthsea Trilogy, a staple that has been part of the collection on my bookshelf since i was 15, but I don't think I have read it in the past 20 years.
This summer i read A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows. Also read Animal farm by George Orwell and Unwind by Neal Shusterman (Sequel Unwholly releases in two days). Currently I am Reading A Dance with Dragons and Thinking Fast and Slow.

To every one that wants to start reading or is reading A Song of Ice and Fire. I suggest you don't pay attention to the tv series, better still, ignore it completely. They change a lot of things in the tv series, small and large plots. The book series is very long so if you read and watch at the same time you might end up forgetting what really happens in the long run.
My too read list contains atm:
- Unwholly by Neal Shusterman
- Extinction Point by Paul Jones
- Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell
- The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Oh, you ment books? The last one I read was Iain M. Banks' The Algebraist, a scifi book.
Are you a guardian? Let me introduce you to my Flesh Golem, he's getting a bit hungry.
C.S.Lewis- The Pilgrims Regress
Its a simple world for complicated people

J. Robert King, Edge of Destiny (yea, I have'nt finnished it yet.. just got it last week.)
Looking for a mature relaxed and fun guild with vent or TS

I was disappointed again.
After reading the Secret Histories series I am releaxing myself with the Ghostfinders series, both are from http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/g/simon-r-green/

I'm reading short stories by Philip K. Dick now. I always read poems now and then from different people as well.

After you are finished with this series, I humbly suggest to go for the "Flashman papers" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Paget_Flashman from George McDonald Fraser

I'm on Pantagruel now. Funny book.
I just started re-reading A Game of Thrones.
I started the Twilight saga.

Well, as far as Twilight Saga goes, I read the first book and I had enough.
Since then, I've read Some stuff by George Sand. Interesting overall, if sometimes boring.
1984 by Orwell, depressive but good. Not as good as I hoped though.
The telling by Le Guin. This I like a lot.
I read some comics as well, Le Mystère d'Urbicande was the best.
Now, I finally started with Game of Thrones. Looks good so far.
