About half of a book of short stories about Sheriff Walt Longmire, by Craig Johnson. I've enjoyed most of the Longmire novels, but the stories were too boring to finish.
Listened to the first volume of Heroes of Olympus, by Rick Riordan. Good book, but I didn't like the narrator, so after the second volume -- which will be good to listen to on a long drive in a couple weeks -- I'm going to switch to reading them.

Asimov's The Rest Of The Robots
I have one more book in the Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot. I have really enjoyed reading them.
Asimov's Nightfall (The novel not the short story).
Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke. It's been a while since I've read such a page-turner.
Before that, Behind The Myths by John Pickard. It's a long book, with extensive quoting of other historical works (over 800 annotations) and presents the case that the origins of the three Abrahamic religions had less to do with theological robustness than with political, social and - in the case of Christianity and Islam at least - economic factors.

Jonathan Kellerman's Motive. Pretty good.
Asimov's Opus 200
Asimov's The Positronic Man
The Giver Quartet. I read The Giver as a child, but until recently I had no idea it had not just one, but THREE sequels. They're great reads!
Asimov's "The Best Of Isaac Asimov"
Jack Vance's "Servants of the Wankh"
Un Lun Dun by China Mieville.
I fell in love with his works via Railsea and Embassytown. Over the last few weeks I've been exclusively reading Mieville. Once I've finished all of his current novels I'll move on to my out of control to read pile.

Began to read Tim Travel and Warp Drives (copyright 2012) by Allen Everette and Thomas Roman.
I got lost right away, the physics is beyond me. What I did glean was: 1. FTL looks very problematic. 2. Time travel (into the past) looks even more problematic.
The technology required would seem to be that of a super civilization, technology far beyond that of the early 21st century.
