The Bourne Identity.
Pretty decent so far.

I've been wanting to read those books. On Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde still. Almost done, also reading Halo: The Flood, and Frankensteins Monster. 
Good books.

I like the Bourne books. They're really rooted in the Cold War, much like early Le Carré, so that kind of bogs them down.
Or it bogs the movies down, because they feel the need to update the stories of the books and end up deviating to the point of irrelevance.
Also, I just started The Girl Who Played With Fire.

Haunt of Jackels.
Odd books. I get this shadowy feeling that they're lame...but I'm really enjoying them. Mysterious, no?
It doesn't hurt that the secondary main character is, freakishly enough, nearly the same as a character I have running through a series of adventures of my own making.

I picked up the original Trade Paperback releases of the first three books in A Song of Ice and Fire. The original paperback releases are actually decent, as compared to the not-so-good binding on the latest release. Would have preferred Hard Back, but this was all they had. Not complaining.

Just read The Apology of Socrates and Crito, both by Plato.

The Warlords of Nin by Steven Lawhead.
Which I would consider classics, but I'm uncertain how many people would agree.
Or rather, how many people I would have to violently fight until they agreed.

Academically I've been reading stuff by Marx, Darwin, and Freud.
But on a more pleasurable level, I've recently finished,
One Day - David Nichols
and
Shutter Island - Denis Lehane
And I'm several chapters into The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and should be starting The Shining soon.
Sure, it's all pop fiction, but I need something to keep my mind off things.

Still pushing through Paradise Lost.
It's...hard. Even I'll admit that.
Otherwise, I've finished the first part of Faust, and am about half through The Water Margin.
In addition, I've been going through a large-ish collection of various British essays and poems.
