What are you reading?
We've got the epic "What are you listening to" thread, how about what you're reading right now...
I've just finished "Crime and Punishment", working on "Foundation's Edge" by Asimov (in addition to far too many textbooks )

I finished The Great Gatsby about a week ago. Aside from textbooks, the only book I'm slowly progressing through right now is Andrew Tanenbaum's Operating Systems: Design and Implementation, 1st edition.

That's weird - one of my textbooks is Tannenbaum's "Structured Computer Organization" (4th ed)

Also apart from the many PHP and Mysql books I've been reading, I am almost done with East of Eden by John Steinbeck.

BTW, where do you all get your books from usually? I need a good reliable source for cheap books. I usually get them from Amazon since they have a nice discount + free shipping. <School/Campus bookstores don't count. Their prices are ridiculous.>

I'm re-reading the 5th book, Fires of Heaven, of the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan. An absolute classic.
