I decided on 'A Dirty Job' by Christopher Moore.

It's worth it if only to read about the Emperor of San Francisco again!

Those in Peril by Wilbur Smith. Cracking story, but seems to descend into porn every 50-odd pages.

Going to read Neil Gaiman's Sandman series again, I just bought the first two books and will buy the rest with subsequent paychecks.  Feels good giving my money to a REAL comic book store that I've met and chat with the owner rather than throwing my money at a faceless corporate entity like Borders or B&N.

I can't WAIT for A Dance with Dragons to come out! Best fantasy series EVER!

Name of the Wind was pretty good too, but it is kind of slow moving. I'm planning on getting the sequel soon.

I haven't, never really appealed for some reason.

I think I'm going to get:

Weapons of Choice - World War 2.3 - John Birmingham - The first two books of the series have been excellent, about a mid-21st century multinational fleet being sent back and scattered around the world during the Battle of Midway in WW2, the series looks not only on the military consequences of jet fighters in the spitfire generation but lokos at how the society, attitudes and politics of the 21st centure affect the world in the forties (Oh, and the USSR learns that it will lose he cold war and forms a stronger alliance with Germany)

Atom - Lawrence Krauss A history of the universe from the Big Bang to the end of time, what's not to love?

Hitch-22 - Christopher Hitchens

A lighthearted comedy novel, probably one by Christopher Moore.

Almost finished with A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin.

Ye gods, these are good books. I read Steel and Snow in 24 hours, straight through the night without noticing. I'm picking up the finale on Saturday and intend to complete it by Monday morning.
Then the work begins.

Does A Feast for Crows get more exciting? I'm getting sick of watching Cersei get more paranoid and Jaime get more honourable, surely there must be some point when Tyrion, Dany and Sandor Clegane sweep back into the narrative in a whirlwind of awesome?

No, you'll have to slog through the less interesting POVs the entire book. GRRM said the book was so long he ended up splitting it up, and the book didn't come out as good as all the others. Fortunately Tyrion, Dany, and Jon are back in A Dance with Dragons.

He kinda writes for the least common denominator, but it's otherwise pretty good.

That guy churns out literature at a ridiculous pace. By the end of 2011, he will have released 11 books just this year.

I just started reading the first book in The Chronicles of Amber, Nine Princes in Amber, the protagonist of which I was almost named after (Corwin).
