Just started reading A Devilish Pastime: A History of Football in all its Forms by Graham Hughes. Seems very interesting but I'm still in the initial chapter.

I read too much stuff at the same time. Also currently reading books about the Spanish Civil War and the American Civil War, plus the 6th book of Sandman by Neil Gaiman, and some other stuff.

I finally got around to reading 1984 by George Orwell and no doubt it lived up to expectations, fantastic book. Didn't feel like wandering too far after that and so I've gone straight on to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

Just getting back into trying to finish Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. My reading stalled with about 4 books purchased but unread, as I started about 10 other books from a range of genres.
I find these books relaxing to read and I get a laugh pretty much from every few pages :)

(oops- just checked- two more in the series out since I last looked... MUST. BUY.!!!)

Just finished Excession again, makes me love and miss Banks even more. Unbelievable book, being led to reading of the Minds as being sentient was very cool. I'm glad in a sad way that I discovered his stuff so late because there is so much of this awesome Culture stuff left for me to read.

Am now starting The E-Myth Revisited - a truly exciting tome about small business. That's the fun part of owing a small business, when you've finished working ridiculous hours everyday of the week you get to relax with a nice book about...small business. Let me know if anyone want me to pm them a synopsis, I can also regale you with tales about...small business.

Have had the Windup Girl over a year but not yet read it. Will have to read this next.
Do it man - awesome book.

A moveable Feast-Hemingway.

I'm not a fan of Hemingway really, apart enjoying The Sun Also Rises to an extent. But A Moveable Feast I would recommend. It's short, easy to read yet intelligently written, and just a really nice book in my opinion.
