What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

I'm sad right now because I just found out that my favorite bookstore is closing. Met a few of my favorite authors there, always got good recommendations, spent too much money - though not recently, so I'm probably part of the problem. It's a real shame that bookstores can't stay in business. Amazon will never be an adequate substitute for browsing in a real bookstore.

Last reread before Bakker's TUC arrives: 'The Great Ordeal'. So far so on schedule.

Reading The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster. Short story or novella about a dystopian future where the surface of the planet is uninhabitable and everyone lives underground in little rooms where all of their needs are taken care of by the Machine. The Machine is breaking down and no one knows how to fix it. It's mainly interesting because it describes a lot of technology that's common now, but was pure science fiction when the story was written. (1909!)

Heavily influenced by H.G. Wells/Time Machine, but interesting in its own right.

Not entirely sure why I'm doing this to myself, but reading ASOIAF 1: A Game Of Thrones...

(Well, my bosses wife wants to borrow it, and I know it'll take her a year of more to read it, so I thought I better get book 1 in before I lent it to her...)
