I haven't been able to finish any books in a long time, but here is the list I'm trying to get through:
Through Wolf's Eyes by  Jane Lindskold
Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling (yes am I a terrible person I haven't finished it yet :) )
Dragonsdawn by Anne McCaffrey
The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

I'm not allowing myself to pick up anymore until this mountain is done, but when I do finish them, I'm starting Xenocide by Orsen Scott Card  ;)

Thanks.  ;D

Have you enjoyed Robert Newcomb's books, Lightningfall?  I've read The Fifth Sorceress and tried The Gates of Dawn, but I could never really get into the series.  And I've heard that the other books are a lot like.  What's your opinion.

Right now, reading First Rider's Call by Kristen Britain.

In the middle of Evil for Evil by KJ Parker.  Enjoying it immensely.

Also just dipped into Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick.

I'll probably finish the Engineer trilogy with The Escapement (sequel to Evil for Evil) next and then on to Children of Dune by Frank Herbert.

Picked up a book of short stories by O. Henry last weekend too.  Looking forward to reading that one.  Old stuff, but my parents really liked his stuff apparently.

Sigyn:  Erikson is staggering in his complexity, but lack a lot of the deep character development that I really live for in books.  Never made it past the middle of the second book in that series myself.

Azhev:  Don't care much for Newcomb.  Really don't like the way that he writes and everything takes so incredibly long to happen in his books.  I've ended up putting down every book of his that I've ever picked up.

I agree.  He started off interesting, but then he got a really morbid fascination with blood...

Also re-reading Eye of The World to get reading for the newest book

Right now The Princess Bride --- a true classic, I know ;)

then I'm on to Twilight, since one of my book groups is reading it (note to self: don't join anymore book groups!)

then I've got the Bourne Supremacy waiting and  Dearly Beloved by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.

The list after that is long and well... I have a ways to go before I'm caught up.

His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik.  I'm really enjoying it.  It's a lot better than I thought it would be.

I just finished Brandon's e-book Warbreaker and Ian McEwan's Atonement in the last week.  I'm trying to get into Robin Hobb's Shaman's Crossing, but I'm having trouble.  Terry Prachett's Colour of Magic is next on the list.

I, personally, enjoy his books quite a bit.  Though he does, as you say, have a morbid fascination with blood.

Reading Wild Magic by Angus Wells.  It's a bit slow so far.  We'll see if it picks up.
