The Essential Vehicle Identification Guide, Panzergrenadier Divisions 1939-1945. Brilliant source material for FOW gamers (which I don't have the time to be)
Malekith, from Black Library. Only 1/3 of the way through but a great read so far.

Malekith is indeed cool, by far the strongest of the TOL series so far.
Reading the collected edition of Batman RIP--awesome stuff, Fables Volume 8, and rereading Xenology and some of the Dark Heresy books for my RPG campaign.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Trying to read Atlast Shrugged by ayn rand (curse you, Hordini!). Really heavy handed book.
Instead, I keep switching back to other books, like The Onion Girl by Charles DeLint. The
subject matter is rather difficult to read about (childhood abuse and how people deal
with it in a magical realist contemporary world ) the writing is good.
Also trying to read A year in the life of a high school student, or something like
that. HOwever, the 8 kids they follow in the book seem like mutants to me.

Just finished "The Gone-Away World" by Nick Harkaway for the second time, fething fantastic book. Highly recommended.
Busy with "The Other Hand" by Chris Cleave. Terribly depressing, but really funny.

Muahahaha! 
I'm getting geared up to read Atlas Shrugged, but I haven't started it in earnest yet.
I'm trying to finish Ivan's War (I stopped reading it for a while when I read Stranger in a Strange Land and 1984, and now I'm trying to finish it up again).
I'm also sort of trying to read Aristotle's Poetics, but I haven't looked at it for a couple months. 
I'm also trying to struggle my way through Pu der Bär, Star Wars: Erben des Imperiums, and Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen (the German translations of Winnie the Pooh, Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, and the first Harry Potter book, respectively).

Well I kind of moved near Toronto, actually.

I have actually been reading Marvel Trade Paperbacks at Chapters the last two weeks, "a pleasant diversion". Catching up so to speak, like, if I had ever read them before. I read the GW ones too, the Witchhunter one is good. There is a related novel, I believe which I will probably read sometime soon.
After that just work-related materials. And news magazines.
