I just finished Dostoyevski's The Idiot & Kerouac's On The Road.
Currently reading All Families are Psychotic by Douglas Coupland as something a little bit lighter before I tackle Dostoyevski's Brothers Karamazov before the end of summer.

Working on the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, currently on Deadhouse Gate.
Gotta finish Gare Joyce's When the Lights Went Out regarding the Punch-up in Piestany.
A Dance with Dragons was supposed to be released in September, but that now has to wait... stupid authors and their having lives.

Ditto, but it is a re-read for me. about 100 pages left. After that, no idea. Something will catch my eye, whether it is the next in the series or something else for a while.
And yeah, A Dance With Dragons would be good. As long as he doesn't pull a Robert Jordan (RIP), I can wait.

Those were my fiction choices last year, I really enjoyed both of them, they did a great job of filling in where the movies failed.
The Rise of Darth Vader gives you a good understanding of Vaders final understanding of his role in the universe.

I just read Allegiance and I'm reading Outbound Flight now; almost done it in fact. I dunno what to read next. Until I picked those two up, after seeing they were by Tim Zahn, I hadn't read any Star Wars books since the whole New Jedi Order thing was starting. Are those worth getting into? I'm leery about not having any of the canon characters in the books.

I'll be reading Allegiance and Outbound Flight this summer too.
I enjoyed the New Jedi Order. Being 17 books long there were some good books and definitely some stinkers, but overall I liked it.
After New Jedi Order is Legacy of The Force (and some trilogy between those two series). From the little bits that I've picked up you may want to read NJO before Legacy just to get yourself familiar with the characters such as Jacen and Jaina Solo. Although if it is well written you probably don't need to worry.
After I finished the NJO series I went into all the books during the prequels era. A bit of a hard switch and I anticipate it'll be hard to switch back to Legacy once I'm done with the books in the prequel era.

I finished the Legacy series a while ago, it had its good books and bad books, and there were some credibility issues with the villian, also the books by Karen Traviss or whatever her name is were a over idolization of Boba Fett and the Mando Commando's. Overall it wasn't bad for a series, it wasn't great, it was just meh, but it does do a good transition suppossedly to the Legacy of the Force graphic novels that take place 140 years in the future.

Just finished up the Chris Farley bio. Very raw considering it was co-written by his oldest brother. I'd recommend it.
Starting tonight off with Patterson's Step On A Crack.

Just finished Clapton (not bad) and I'm plowing through Barilko and an excellent Jimi Hendrix bio called Room Full of Mirrors.

A classic I read recently and really enjoyed was "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Dumas. Another classic I would recommend anyone to pick up(if you haven't already) is War and Peace by Tolstoy. As far as more recent books go, I really enjoyed the "Peaceful Warrior" trilogy by Millman, I also enjoyed "Three Nights in Havana" by Wright as was mentioned above.
