Nuklear Age by Brian Clevinger. So dumb it's hilarious.
I will admit the guy seriously needed an editor (I can't stop counting all the typos), but some of the descriptive writing is brilliant. So worth enduring the mistakes.

The Children of Hurin, by J.R.R. Tolkein.
Enjoying it thoroughly thus far. Although the fleeting chances of romance that Tolkien decides not to go into with Turin does irk me. It does deliver fully on the Fantasy aspect; no less of what I'd expect from Tolkien.

Having to juggle Uncle Tom's Cabin alongside YSKOV!, but I should hurry up - I have more books to read, especially now that I've come into the possession of Only Revolutions.

Die Leiden des jungen Werther was disappointing. Probably because the main character eventually just got too pathetic for me to suffer with him, and because in the last quarter of the book Goethe randomly switched the perspective of narration and frequently managed to ruin the mood.

Finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson on Sunday. Still have to finish reading what's his face Glenn Becks or whatever's treatise on what he thinks is wrong with the economy.
I'm only reading it so I can do my own research and possibly skewer it someday in the future.
