Genki is the name of the Japanese textbook you're using? I think that's the exact same textbook we're using in my Japanese class.
 
I've finished the Iliad, and now I'm reading:

Greek Lyric: An Anthology in Translation (for my Greek Lit class)

and

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (for recreation)
I picked up Choke because I'm a fan of Palahniuk's novels, and I wanted to read Choke before watching the movie. I saw a copy of it in the bookstore for 25% off, and bought it.
 
Well, I'm reading Die Chemie des Todes (The Chemistry of Death) by Simon Beckett. The book is ok so far, but I'm not really sure if I like it yet or not. Need to read a bit more to decide:P

The last book I read was 'Death on the Nile' by Agatha Christie. What can I say about it? It's just simply amazing! It was the first book I've ever read written by her and I must say it left quite a good impression! The book began slowly, to the point it bored the heck out of me but half-way into the story is where the real action begins: a murder happens in an african steam boat and detective Poirot has to resolve the murder!

I'm not really sure what I'll be reading next. I'm planning to re-read 'La Sombra del Viento' (The Shadow of the Wind) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. So far, its the best book I've ever read! Check the Wikipedia link I provided!

I'm also interested in reading the Bourne Trilogy written by Robert Ludum. Have seen the third movie and I must say it did impress me a lot. And I heard the books were way better than the movies, so I'm willing to check them out.
 
Currently reading: To Kill A Mocking Bird for my English class...
For my leisure: "Kaz The Minotaur" by Richard A. Knakk. About a third of the way into it.....Dragonlance for the win!!!

Last book i read: "The Qualanesti" by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya R. Carter (another Dragonlance book (^^)v )

What i want to read: Any more dragonlance books. preferably the Ledgends series, still have not read the third one and i will prolly have to re-read the first two as it has been a while. Also any other fantasy books, it is my all time favorite genre. (hell, it is my dream to become a fantasy writer one day)

I also want to pick up some Dean R. Koontz books, "Servants of Twilight" was the first book i read by him and i want to pick up more of his work

Last book finished: A Separate Peace by John Knowles
I had to read it for english class, and I HATED it. Barely anything happened in it.

Currently reading: Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey
I really like it, and I can't wait till I finish it so I can read the next two books.

Plan to read: Magic's Promise and Magic's Price also by Mercedes Lackey
Like I said, I can't wait to read them.
 
I'm about 2/3 of the way through George Orwell's 1984 at the minute. I can see why it is a classic, I'm really enjoying it.

At first I thought it was overly-philosophical, but as the story progresses, it all works really nicely.
 
I'm reading a biography of the musician and record producer Brian Eno. It gets a bit over-technical at times, but it's an entertaining read and I'm enjoying reading about his time producing some of Talking Heads best albums.
 
Right now I'm reading the fourth installment to the House of Night series by PC Cast and Kristin Cast called Untamed. The story is really good and cannot wait to see what happens next!
 
Dr No by Ian Fleming.
It is quite clearly a classic, with chigroes and dragons.
It's very good, very different from the movie, but still good.
 
Currently reading: The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
I despise this book, body, heart, and soul. I think John Steinbeck is an incredibly talentless writer. (Or was, rather. He is thankfully dead and can no longer ruin the world with his awful writing.) All of his books seem to focus too much on "the American Dream" and extreme attention to detail rather than things that actually have a chance of catching one's interest.

Last book I read: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Really depressing, but I loved it. And I just now realized how long it's been since I last read an actual novel... This was about a month ago, at least. :(

Plan on reading: I dunno, actually. I haven't been thinking about reading for a while now, sadly. Maybe I'll find some books that have been adapted into movies. Eh.
 
Last book I read:
LOTR: The Two Towers.
Can't help it, I am a sucker for LOTR, and this is like my 5th time reading through this book. Can't help it. It's good.

Current reading:
Mannen Som Elsket Yngve[directly translated, ''The Man Who Loved Yngve''.
I have no idea how to explain my feelings around this book. It is indeed one of the best books I've ever read, quite gay, but nonetheless. It's simply awesome.

Plans to read:
Way to A smile(or w/e it's called)
That FF VII book about Denzel, Tifa and Cloud. I actually downloaded this book from somewhere, and I've been putting it for a century. So I guess I have to read it soon :P
 
Recently started to re-read a child called it. one of the best books i have ever read (also one of the only books i have ever managed to finish) it is an amazing book even though the story line nearly made me cry.
what his mother does to him is sick
 
I'm about to continue finishing various books, based on the Starcraft PC game, developed by Blizzard Entertainment. These include novelised versions of particular missions in the game and completely canon additions to the series, written by impartial authors. Thus far, they are excellent addition to my collection.
