Swinging back and forth between books, as usual: currently my reading time's mostly occupied with Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose in paperback; C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner series and Hugh Aldersey-Williams' Periodic Tales on my cellphone or in dead tree format as mood or circumstance takes me.
Periodic Tales is pretty much a meandering walkthrough of the elements of the periodic table and their cultural significance. Slow going but interesting all the same. The Name of the Rose is as dense and brain stretching as the first time I went through it: now that I know what all happened I can let my brain pay attention to the details.
As for Cherryh: I'm starting on my annual reread of the Foreigner series in preparation for reading Foreigner #14: Protector, which I plan on getting soon. Currently just started rereading book 1.
In the meantime when I get bored of everything I'm currently reading, I skip to reading Snow Crash, or random fanfic I saved to disk.
