I dunno, everything I haven't read yet I suppose. In the immediate future it's Bill Bryson, and Divine Misfortune by A. Lee Martinez.

I'm in the middle of Snow Crash and the new Thursday Next book.
I got bored with them both. Actually, I fell asleep in the middle of the former, and want to start reading it again at some point soon so I actually understand what's going on.

as for the latter, I just don't think I could be bothered finishing it.

others on my to read list include:

Chart Throb - Ben Elton
The Gulag Archipelago - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Dark Tourist - Dom Joly
The Left Hand of God - Paul Hoffman

Tell me about it. I decided life was too short, and took it back to the library. Maybe another time.
