From what I have read recently;

R.A. Salvatore books, going from The Dark Elf to Transitions
The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy series
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
The Bartimaeus Trilogy

I'm currently reading The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and Frankenstein.

[Lord Dakoth]

Frankenstein is really an incredible book, especially considering that it was written by an 18 year old girl (and has nothing to do with vampires.)

Despite the fact that some of the characters' logic is occasionally somewhat... flawed, it is still a must-read.

A month or two ago, I finished reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Now that was a good book. It really changed my world view. Apparently they're making it into a movie now, and Angelina Jolie is going to be Dagny Taggart...

I don't think there is another writer that has ever written that I dislike more than Ayn Rand.

Just finished "The amazing Maurice and his educated rodents" by Pratchett.

I just started rereading that for the second time.

Afterward, I'll suspect I may wind up reading Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians (by Brandon Sanderson) for the third time in the 2-4 months since I first read it.  And its sequels (which I have signed, yay!).  They're fun, funny, and have an interesting setting, so if you've been reading slightly more depressing, tense, or serious stuff they'd be a good thing to do for a bit.

I just finished Timequake and have recently read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Mythago Wood, Hellblazer Original Sins, and Speaker for the Dead. For English, I've read Huck Finn and the Crucible. I've been reading on and off out of the Necronomicon and I'm just starting to read from a collection of Anton Chekhov stories, creatively entitled Stories.

I used to like Pratchett, but at some point during the discworld series he got exceedingly preachy

[sonerohi]

Reading, finally, Sun Tzu's The Art of War, and the Communist Manifesto. Also reading a book my Mike Diamond, Guns Germs & Steel. My History teacher ( a cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything) loaned them to me.

Haha, the two books I read before the amazing maurice were Neil Gaiman books (American Gods and Anansi Boys). It's like reading a depression. That's why I figured a couple of pratchett books could  be a good followup since even his gloomier ones tend to be pretty funny and uplifting.

The newest wheel of time is the book I am currently reading.

[ToonyMan]

Currently reading: World War Z
In The Future: Lord of the Ring(s)?

Reading takes awhile when you have no time/are always tired.

Her ideals were loathsome.

Terry Goodkind?

[Keiseth]

Terry Goodkind?

Terry Goodkind is Ayn Rand + Bondage Fetish.

[ChairmanPoo]

Part Ayn Rand, part Robert Jordan, somehow manages to write worse than both, pretentious as hell about the nature of "his work"... And yeah, then there's the bondage/rape fetish.

So yeah, thats why I suggested him as potentially more hateful.
