Read any good books lately?

Just curious what everyone else likes to read... I don't read nearly as much as I used to, but I still enjoy it, and thought I would share some of my favorite books with everyone. Feel free to do the same.

Right now, I just started reading Neal Stephenson's newest book "Quicksilver", which is somewhat of a pre-cursor to his last book "The Cryptonomicon". The Cryptonomicon was awesome, as are all his other books (Snow Crash, Zodiac, The Diamond Age, etc.).

Read the "Chung Kuo: The Middle Kingdom" series by David Wingrove 2 years ago, and I'm going to re-read the whole thing again since it was such a great series. Wonderful writing, great character development, and overall a really well thought-out work of fiction. Probably my all-time favorite read.

I also read alot of Kurt Vonnegut books, like "Cat's Cradle", etc. Most recently I read "Timequake" which was good... He's a strange author to be sure, mostly very tongue-in-cheek social commentary, but truly a gifted writer.
