Right now I'm reading Nation by Terry Pratchett - something reasonably light to keep me going until the end of exams. It's... weird. I do like it (though I think it's thematically a bit heavy-handed) but Terry's writing seems a little odd in this one. Might just be me, though. I'm not as familiar with his more recent work (my first TP book was Thief of Time when I was eleven, I went back to the start of the Discworld stuff and have read up to Jingo, and read the first two Tiffany books, as well as Amazing Maurice along the way) so maybe the change in style will make more sense the further along I get.
Also reading The End of Faith by Sam Harris, but it's on hold until I'm finished exams because I'm just not in the right head space for it just now.
Next up fiction-wise will be The Scar by China Mieville. I LOVED Perdido Street Station, which I read earlier this year, with an unhealthy passion, so I'm hoping this lives up to my expectations. My boyfriend's read both and said he thought The Scar was even better than PSS, so that's a decent recommendation!
