I'm curious and bored, and *I've* never seen this asked before. So what book or books is everyone reading?

The Path of Daggers (I'm so far behind the times). Soon I shall read The Gunslinger
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Is that the book where the Easter Bunny gets lost, and puts all the Easter Eggs in a graveyard? And then, when the kids go in and look for them, zombies rise up and drag the kids down into the graves to suffer a lingering death?

I love that book.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Well I'd say I'm reading a book but err.. I have this annoying capability of reading a 500 page book in under 2 hours, so I don't actually have anything I'm reading -right- now.

However, I've just gotten through:

Flight of the Old Dog - Dale Brown
Battle Born - Dale Brown
Warrior Class - Dale Brown
Sea Witch - Alistair MacLean
Shock Wave - Clive Cussler
The Street Lawyer - John Grisham

Good stuff
