I'm currently reading Man on Fire. FANTASTIC book. I lost interest for about 10 pages, but kept going, and it's just awesome.

I'm reading Whisker of Evil by Rita Mae Brown. She writes excellent mysteries, I haven't read any of her fiction, though.

I am just about finished with "Star Trek: Voyager: Dark Matters" #3. It's great.
I'm also reading "DELIVER US FROM EVIL: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism" by Sean Hannity, Liberalism being there because they STAND IN THE WAY of fighting evil.

I am ABOUT to begin to read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Has anyone else read it? Is it A LOT better than the movie?

I liked the movies better, I read the first LotR book, and vowed that I'd never torture myself like that again.

I tend to pick up about a dozen books and read them periodically.  But the ones I'm reading are...
Poinsonwood Bible by Barbara Kingslover; Illusions (For the 10th or 11th time) by Richard Bach; My Life as a Woman by Diane DuPrima (I think that's how it's spellled) ; and Imzadi II (3rd or 4th time)

Yeah, I do that. I can only carry one book to work at a time, though, and I've been working all week, 
I'm also reading a few "ho books", as Gary calls them. And some biographical histories.

Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time. Read half of it on a painfully long flight from Portland to Dallas to Kansas City. I need to finish it, but no time. I can't remember the edition or who translated it... oh well. Not bad if like russian prose. It's hard to follow at first, but the reading becomes easy after a while.

The movies are better, judging from what I've read so far... but I still love the books  I also reccomend reading The Hobbit first if you haven't already.

I've been reading books by Raymond E. Feist. If you like LOTR you'll also love these. Fantasy ones. My sister's stolen one I bought recently and I haven't even read it,

That's a good book, but rather strange.
