What I'm reading right now is Made to Break : Technology and Obsolescence in America. Moby Dick was fantastic, though it did take me three months to finish it.

Also read Stephen King's Cell, Peter Straub's Lost Boy Lost Girl, Edward St. Aubyn's terrific, acerbic Mother's Milk , The Complete Peanuts 1959-1960, and Wimbledon Green, and Dave Barry's Money Secrets. All of these were pretty terrific, and well worth your time, though the Straub novel loses steam near the middle (it's still a good novel, full of uneasy family relationships, but some of it seems pulled out of a second-rate horror movie).
