Currently reading:
The Cardinal of the Kremlin by Tom Clancy.
Waiting for The Winds of Winter by George R.R.R.R.R. Martin. I really hope he finishes it soon
(We need a "a song of ice and fire fan theories" thread )
World War Z by Max Brooks. Don't judge the book by the film; while I haven't seen it, I heard it has little to do with the book.
Metro Series by Dmitry Glukhovsky. Haven't read this one myself yet, but Varanon has and it should be quite good.
Companions on the Road by Tanith Lee. A fantasy novel I have read ages ago, and while I have little memory of the details (we're talking 25 years ago, really), I remember it to be a very moody story.
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. The book was certainly pretty hyped, but it isn't too bad. Its claim of historical accuracy however seems far fetched.
The song of a distant earth by Arthur C. Clarke. I've always been a fan of his, and while this novel is relatively atypical of his usual style, it was a very fascinating story.
The Invincible and Solaris, both by Stanislaw Lem. Lem is a bit difficult to read, also because most of the time his subject matter is someone's encounter with the unknown. Both books had a strange appeal to them.
The Fourth Protocol and The Devil's Alternative by Frederik Forsyth. He's a british author, and writes in a similar style as Clancy, without the uber-patriotism. Day of the Jackal and The Odessa Files are probably his most well-known novels, both of which I haven't read yet.
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.R.R. Tolkien. (what's that with fantasy authors and 'R's anyway?). If you ask me, a must-read. THE classic fantasy book.
