Just finished Slaughterhouse 5 and Generation X. The latter particularly has slotted into my top 5.

Almost finished Kafka's 'the Trial', an old purchase. Can't beat a bit of tasty dystopian goodness!

Currently reading Memoirs of a Geisha. Just finished The Joy Luck Club.

The Engines Of God by the one and only Jack McDevitt.

from the other book I'm reading:

"Weishaupt's 'illumination' & Voltaire's 'enlightenment': from the Latin 'lux' meaning light. Christianity all in 3s (Trinity, etc.) Buddhism in 4s. Illuminism in 5s."

I'm currently reading Heart of Darkness and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both for the first time.

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice.

I am reading two books at this moment,
His Dark Materials Triligy by Phillip Pullman

Napalm and Silly Puddy by George Carlin

a philip k **** thing - not really making much progress despite being a very easy read, lost the momentum. cheers for the meme input cardboard

Also starting Essential Chomsky, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, and the Mammoth Book of Cover-Ups.
