Just In Case by Meg Rosoff. I didn't particularly like it, as it seemed to boil down to nothing.
Notes From the Teenage Underground by Simmone Howell. Fairly good. I enjoyed myself.
The first part of Under the Wolf, Under the Dog by Adam Rapp. As we delve deeper into the main character's psyche, I discover that I hate his guts, and don't find him interesting enough to continue reading.

I decided, about 100 pages into The Confusion, that I needed a break from the 17th and 18th centuries... so I'm reading The Ruins, by Scott Smith.
I'm not going to say it's amazing, because I've certainly read better authors, but it's a quick read, even though it's long. And far better than the movie that was based on it.

You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in the same breath. You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death...

I just got the following:
The Shining<-- Stephen King
The Talisman<-- Stephen King
Dreamcatcher<-- Stephen King
I'm reading The Shining first, and let me say... wow. It's the best book I've read by King so far, and it's the creepiest for sure.

Yeah, it's pretty much horrifying. 
Just finished The Ruins by Scott Smith, working on Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson.

Good man! Read them again. Nao. ^_^
I'm reading "the Restorer", which is yet another Christian fantasy that I love. Good read.

Finished The Shining a week or so ago. Great book. So far it's my favorite King book I've read, and it's one of my all time favorite books, period. Now I'm wondering if the movie is any good. 
Now I'm reading Dreamcatcher. And it's good, too.

Aw, give the movie a shot man. It's creepy. And amazing.
And if you watch the Dreamcatcher movie, don't expect something very similar to the book.
I just started reading a film analysis book.

Game Informer... that's not a book though. I'm re-reading LotR for the 3rd or 4th time.

The Talisman. I made up my mind awhile back to give it a try... and I'm happy I did. 
I love it. Totally. MUCH better then Dreamcatcher, imo (the book I read before it. Not related to it, except that they are both written by King).
