I'm still reading 'Rendezvous With Rama' - AC Clarke and enjoying it immensely, but I'm so busy It's become one of the plates I have spinning on the pole.

I read a couple or three of the series a few years ago and really enjoyed them. I bought more of the series but my paperbacks are all over the place since I moved. I'll have to dig the rest of them up.

I'm not sure if you could call this reading (because it is a manga [Japanese comic book]) but I'm reading Katana Manga - Read Katana manga scans online | One Manga . It is a series about a young man who is able to see/communicate with the spirits of swords, and it comes in real handy several times. He is in charge of sharpening the swords that come into his family's business (and from other places, too.)

Later this week (on Halloween) I'm going to read some Edgar Allen Poe and Joseph Sheridan le Fanu by the light of a single taper candle with several people from school (it's better than getting drunk at a stupid "party", plus we're going to gorge ourselves with really chocolaty cookies [chocolate chocolate chip cookies with chocolate lentils mixed in and drizzled with melted chocolate].)

Sorry for the link, but I felt it was easier than trying to do a full explanation of the manga.

I just read And Tango Makes Three, a book based on a true story of a pair of chinstrap penguins that hatched and raised a(n) egg/chick from another penguin couple. You see, Tango's real parents (the one's who hatched and raised her) couldn't lay any eggs themselves so the zookeeper gave them an egg from a couple that never was able to successfully hatch two eggs.

I found my copy of Fool Moon Jim Butcher's second book in the Dresden files which is definitely appropriate for the season. (werewolves).

For the Halloween "season", I read Poe and le Fanu by candlelight.

I'm far too old and blind for candlelight reading. I'd have to be read to.

Glasshouse by Charles Stross - trying hard to overcome my dislike of the present tense...
