                      Ain't reading a damn thing as I have to read about 1,000 pages of garbage for work everyday....

                      About to start, for the hell of it, either 'Don't Stop The Carnaval' (Herman Wouk) or 'The Dharma Bums' (Kerouac)

                      I probably won't read either and will just get another book on travel on finance.

                          Niels Klim's Journey to the World Underground by Ludvig Holberg. It's kind of a "proto-SF tale, melding a fantastic voyage with utopia and satire", to quote an online review I just read. Written in 1742. This is the 4th or 5th time I read it.

                          I'm also reading The Clash of Civilizations by Samuel P. Huntington. Quite interesting.

                              Well that's kind of stupid question isn't it? Of course I was reading the title of your thread at that moment!

                              As for what books I'm reading, I've been going through Anne McCaffrey's Pern series.

                                I can relate. I tried that one years ago, and I just found the main character to be a whiny wimp that I had absolutely no sympathy for. I only manged to get about a third of the way through it.
