I also intended to get into IQ84, but instead picked up (er... loaded) Norwegian Wood, which I'm really enjoying at about the halfway point. There are a lot of points of commonality with the other two Murakami books I've read--familiar qualities to the characters and situations, even if the specifics are different. I'm thinking the new Stephen King is up next, but I doubt I'll get into it until after the New Year.
I'm also listening to Ringworld on audio--I'll have to read more Larry Niven. His stuff never blows me away, but it's always a lot of fun: a great blend of humanity and mind-bending geekery.
