This board needs a thread about books!
So what are you currently reading?
-----
I will begin.
For my studies, I just finished Frances A. Yates'
Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (or the slightly more pompous Norwegian name: Modernitetens okkulte inspirasjon - Giordano Bruno og arven etter Hermes Trimegistos)
Today I will read Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man (if I manage to study when knowing that all my friends are out chilling in the sun.
To keep me from going mad from all this renaissance philosophy, I read Gibson's Idoru in my spare time...

Snow Crash (Stephenson) for like the fifth or sixth time. Then I'm moving onto the Parrish Plessis series (Marianne de Pierres) for the third time before I get the free copy of her new book she is sending down to me.

Right now, I'm reading... This forum! 
I've also been reading the ZDNet and Wired websites for good stories of CP interest.
I've also been reading some books for A+ certification. If I can get certified, I might be able to get a halfway decent computer job.

Currently reading:
Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson - Illuminatus! part 3 - Leviathan
and
Jeff Noon - Vurt
But i think it's probably not the best idea to read those two books simultaneously, so I'm going to concentrate myself on "Illuminatus!" and restart "Vurt" as soon as I'm finished.

Currently reading a letter that states that I can not begin my MA this fall, but have to wait a year, due to my institute being late processing an application.

I'm currently reading Idoru (Gibson) and Souls of Cyberfolk by Thomas Foster. Souls of Cyberfolk is a DENSE read - definitely into the language of detailed post-modern critiques.
