Default Books you've read recently

Here's another go at this thread, it seems to pop up every few months but I wanted to get it started. Below are some books I am/recently read (ing), so please add some of your current books, and your favorites.

Currently I am reading a couple of books:

The End of Mr. Y - by Scarlett Thomas
The Zero - by Jess Walter
Adverbs - by Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket)

However, my favorite book of all time, which I recently finished for the third time, is The Average American Male- by Chad Kultgen. It is the funniest book I have ever read in my life. Completely plays on every male/female stereotype known, and is so offensive it's funny. It's about a guy and his love life, basically, and what he learns along the way. Quite an interesting read if you want to laugh every page. Just don't take it seriously at all. This is not really a book you want your mother to read, extremely offensive and very crude language!

I also recently read The Futurist - by James P. Othmer, but I wasn't all that impressed by it. Nothing really to say other than I didn't like it. It was decently written, but the main character seemed too hollow and one-dimensional for me to identify with.

Anyone read these books? Others? Are there any book clubs for guys, where you don't have to read the weirdo books all the time? I might be interested in joining a book club, but I am not interested in joining to meet women, or to read dumb books that Oprah said were good.
