What's everyone reading at the moment?

I'm reading Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of the West. I love the musical so thought I'd read that. I'll be starting His Dark Materials after that
 
Wasted by Mark Johnson. Brilliant book, its all about his upbringing and how he ended up a drug addicted and then how he turns himself around. Xx
 
I'm reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk again as watched the movie recently...still wondering why it was never released over here, the movie I mean...
 
I'm about to start The Scarlet Letter. I have been procastinating. I should be half way done by now.
 
I'm pretty much into doing research (fitness and health) this year, so here is what I am reading, a handful of books by the same author (Lyle McDonald): A Guide to Flexible Dieting, Bromocriptine, The Ketogenic Diet, The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook and The Ultimate Diet 2.0...I read some of his writings, blogs and comments on his website and he is fascinating, well what he has to say certainly is...

Wow that is some list - I have a very ordered mind and can only read one book at a time!! I am going to look out for this book - am sure I have read something by her before (the name rings a bell). Just started another Jodi Picoult book as well - very clever writing. Anyway shall let you all know
PS how are the diets going??
 
Im reading Kane & Abel by Jefferey Archer,my friend said it was a good book,i found it at my local market for 50p hardback aswell.
I love reading it relaxes me after a busy day with my son.
 
I've just started reading "The 19th Wife" by David Ebershoff after seeing a few people on this thread had recommended it, and after only just 100 pages I am loving it so far! I can't remember a time when I last felt so gripped by a book. I hope the rest of the book lives up to the beginning.
