I'm currently reading a couple of diverse books right now:

The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope, which I downloaded from MobileRead in the Ruritania Duology edited and uploaded by Flogiston.
In the Bleak Midwinter, a murder mystery by Julia Spencer-Fleming which Amazon.com was offering to Kindle owners for free last week. Apparently the publisher was offering free copies of the first and second in the series to promote the forthcoming new episode.
The Bobbsey Twins in the Country by Laura Lee Hope. This is the second in the series and the second that I formatted and uploaded to MobileRead. I'm now reading through the book with an eye to formatting problems. Once I locate a printed or scanned copy of the book, I will compare the eBook to the original to make sure that the formatting is consistent. I will also scan the illustrations and update the eBook.
Parlour Games by Mavis Cheek. This is a paperback book that I picked up second-hand in the Oxfam Shop in Winchester in early February. I have promised to mail it to a book swapping friend in Massachusetts when I finish it and I need to get moving so she doesn't have to wait so long.
Love Over Scotland by Alexander McCall Smith, which I'm listening to (unabridged CDs) in my car during those times I'm driving and alone. Since these times are quite rare, I've been "reading" this book since the first of April and I'm on the 6th CD of the set of 12. Much as I dislike commuting into my office (~50 miles each way), maybe I need to do so a couple of days so I can finish listening to this book. In case you've read the book, I've gotten the the part in the plot where Cyril has escaped from his kidnapper.
