The Rule of Four, by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. It's a mediocre thriller, readable, but not better than that.
I've recently finished Koko by Peter Straub. The book is dark enough for my taste, but far longer than necessary.

Because you guys talked me into it (it was mentioned in the Books to Recommend thread): Sunshine by Robin McKinley. I've read about three quarters so far, and I love it.

Yay!
I'm reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk, and since its Chuck Palahniuk, I'm finding it extremely entertaining.

Heh, that's a good one. I got it a few years ago as a birthday present from my boyfriend, and I loved it.

I am constantly touting around a copy of Amy Dacyzyn's "The Complete Tightwad Gazette" with me. That's an on-going forever read.
Novels, though, I am reading "The Mysteries of Udolphu" by Ann Radcliffe and recently realizedd I left it at my boyfriend's place and won't get it back til Friday! *sob*

I just picked up John Milton's Paradise Lost. I've been putting it off for a long time, because I never really had time to read it. Now that I have time in school, because I can turn it in for a grade, I'm reading it, and I regret not reading it before.

Currently reading The Illuminatus! Trilogy, by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.
This book is sort of like Schrodinger's Cat, which means I won't understand any of it until at about page 100.
I bet people's smartness can be measured according to how quickly can they understand the book.
