Currently, I'm really getting into Masamune Shirow's works for some odd reason. "Dominion", especially.

The books I've read in the past week or so are Freda Warrington's DARKER THAN THE STORM, which is kind of a tie-in with her Blackbird fantasy series (4 pt.)... after that I read HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE (yes, the UK version of Sorceror's Stone... I wanted to read the original :P ).

Yesterday I read Laurell K. Hamilton's A KISS OF SHADOWS which is the first in her Merry Gentry series, which has to do with the sidhe and the fey. If you're familiar with her Anita Blake series I do recommend this book. It's a lot of fun with witty dialogue, lots of action and, as it is Laurell K. Hamilton, she throws in plenty of sex too.

Next up: Freda Warrington - THE RAINBOW GATE

Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. I am very sick of reading about the virtue of selfishness. I could tolerate it if she sprinkled it with anti-communist inuendo, but I feel smothered.

Other than that, it's a beautiful novel.

Currently I'm reading Liber Aba, Liber 777, and Diary of a Drug Fiend, all by Aleister Crowley, in addition to The Golden Dawn, by Israel Regardie; The Illustrated Oxford Dictionary by Oxford people lol; A Concise Intro. to Philosophy, by a multitude of people; and Psychology Today (but it's an old crappy version), by a whole bunch of people. I always read too many books at once. Some of my favs are Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedriche Nietzche; The Antichrist, Nietzche; Collected Works of Aristotle; books that I wrote but didn't finish; The Cat in the Hat; Liber Aba; and some others.

I just finished The Breakers by Minette Walters and Monster by Jonathan Kellerman. Not really mind bending stuff but I enjoy them.
