Ubik by Philip K. Dick
Just finished it yesterday after reading about Stanislaw Lem's hearty recommendation. So good.
Book 3 of 1Q84. Great stuff.
Warbreaker, by Brandon Sanderson
This author really makes interesting magic systems in his books, haha.
I started reading The Brothers Karamazov. I am only ~20 pages in, but I love it so far.
Read this years ago when I was in high school. I enjoyed it then but can't remember any of the specifics. I might have to see if I still have my copy kicking about.Started this yesterday. It's not related to the movie although I guess the movie was kinda inspired by it, but this is totally different. So far it has been really good. I read that Long doesn't keep it up, but I'm hooked, so we'll see where it goes.
The Descent by Jeff Long
Try Mistborn series, best magic system ever, in my opinion..(same author)
Finished J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets and started Leviathan Wakes
Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey

Comments like this makes me worry though, which is why I haven't already bought the second book.Interested to see what you think of it. One of the few sci-fi books I ended up putting down.
Finished The Night Circus.
The concept and set up was better than the actual story.The ending was pretty much just "I dunno. Magic!"
Thanks to earlier recommendation I'm also reading this. It's a good read so far, I'm about 100 pages in. If it doesn't turn ugly I'll pick up the second book next.

Excited for The Blinding Knife on Tuesday.
Just finished this and awaiting the 2nd part from Amazon.
Awesome book. I can't believe I'd never heard of Gene Wolfe before (picked the book up at random at Barnes & Noble not knowing what to expect). Difficult to read at first due to the exotic vocabulary, but after a couple chapters I couldn't put it down. I love how the author presents a culture that's degenerated past the point of understanding its own technology (e.g. a mechanism powered by 'lightning' instead of electricity).
Really difficult to get into, but I like it so far.
