I've been trying to get back into fiction for a while.  I just seem 
to have fallen out of the habit -- spending all my time reading 
manuals and music-industry magazines instead -- and can't seem to 
finish anything before getting bored with it.  Heck, I've been 
working on Kim Stanley Robinson's "Years of Rice & Salt" for almost 
three years now (and I actually enjoy that one, if only I could 
finish the darn thing).

So, to get back in the saddle, I've started going back and re-reading 
books I enjoyed around the time of early high school through college, 
when I used to scarf down books voraciously.

Right now:

        Frederick Pohl: Gateway.
        George Alec Effinger: When Gravity Fails; A Fire in the Sun; 
& The Exile Kiss.
        Neil Stephenson: Snow Crash.
        Philip K. Dick: Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said.
        Roger Zelazny: The Complete Amber Chronicles.
        Aldous Huxley: Brave New World.

Also, I just picked up the new William Gibson book, but haven't yet 
started that one.
