I just finished rereading Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere", and next is probably an early Neal Stephenson book called "The Big U".
I'm hacking my way through Film and The Anarchist Imagination, some Lorca poetry, and some Anton Chekhov short stories.
See, I do read, just too many things at once because my tastes constantly change.

"How To Become A Schizophrenic: The Case Against Biological Psychology" by John Modrow. Also "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin.
Edgeworks Volume 2 by Harlan Ellison.
We is probably the best novel I've read in the past year.
The first one sounds fascinating. Is it?
I should probably get around to reading We one of these days too.

I've been meaning to start Love in the Time of Cholera, which has the most awesome title of anything ever.
Ah, you should, We is great - and it's apparently where George Orwell got inspiration to write 1984
funny Neil Gaiman was the first mention - right now I'm reading American Gods by him
As well as:
Pilgrim - Timothy Findley
Fear and Trembling in Sunnydale: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy

just finished re-reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck and, of necessity, the King James bible (ah, Steinbeck...). Am now reading Stones from the River by Ursula Heigi.
At the moment, The Prime of Life by Simone de Beauvoir. My goal is to read the entire four volumes of her autobiography (and this one is book 2.)
My favorite Gertrude Stein book is Ida: A Novel. If you haven't read that, don't miss it.
I'm not familiar with Joe Carstairs, but it certainly sounds interesting.

I've never read any Orson Scott Card, but I used to adore Madeleine L'engle. I remember the scene with all the houses exactly alike and the children in front of them all skipping rope to the exact same rhythm . . .
Stones from the River was fantastic! I adore that book.

Yes, there is still QBC chat and it takes place on AIM every Sunday now. It's in session right at this moment, in case you want to come!
Non-fiction: Travels in Hyperreality by Umberto Eco.
Fiction: Black Projects White Knights by Kage Baker (excellent time travel SF).
And I just finished Cerulean Sins by Laurel K. Hamilton (amazingly trashy vampire fiction).

my downloading of aim has not went well in the past.
I think it is. I'm reading it for a presentation in my Sociobiology class, which come to think of it, you would probably love -- although no one is doing presentations on queerness as an adaptive response to the environment this year. Mine is on creativity in madness as an adaptive trait, hence the book; I highly recommend it, if you can get your hands on it.
And We was the inspiration for 1984. Apparently, you're supposed to read a trilogy of books: We, 1984, and Brave New World, because each inspired the next. I started with 1984, then went to We, and haven't started Brave New World yet. I love reading about dystopia!
BTW, I also love your music selection for this entry. Subtle and amusing. :)
