Just finished Cell by Stephen King. The book was fun, but the ending needed some closure. Going to look for a new book as soon as the Borders coupon comes around.
After finally needing a break from The Wheel of Time series from 1-9 straight through, I'm currently reading the book version of Battle Royale. Pretty good so far. From what I've heard it puts the movie to shame and I can see why.

Battle Royale is probably one of the best books I ever read. Probably the best $15 I spent at Borders. The movie is not as great (but good notherless). The manga I didn't like it as much because I don't agree how the writers add a lot more to the sidestories.

Currently reading Paul Auster's New York Trilogy, as a recommendation from another CAG and I'm really enjoying it.
Afterwards, The Da Vinci Code (i finished angels and demons before starting NY); The Box Man; and then something classic, I was actually considering Sun Tzu's Art of War or Thomas More's Utopia.
I just finished reading Stephen King's The Stand and it was a pretty incredible journey. I love post-apocalyptic tales and this certainly fit the mold. The only things that turned me off were the overly explicit religious overtones that show more towards the end of the novel. Aside from that, however, it was a great read that is highly recommended.
