In the Miso soup — Ryu Murakami.
It's great reading, and it really does portray the differences between English and Japanese society. Great read

Cassell's Tales of Endurance by Fergus Fleming. Its a non-fiction book with accounts of various explorations/ventures that were undertaken in the past to discover various locations around the globe. Its a little tedious to read but still really good.

Ah I read that book. I love all those references to love and fate and everything. I liked it, although I thought it was a little too easy (granted, it's a kid's book, but still
), you can finish it in like one day.

I've recently read the first two Vampire Hunter D novels (Vampire Hunter D & Raiser of Gales) by Hideyuki Kikuchi. The first one was what the original movie was based off of. All the techno info turned me off a bit, but it was interesting information to background the story. Once it got going, I really enjoyed it. The second book was just as good. 
I've also read the City of Heroes book The Web of Arachnos by Robert Weinberg. The first half of the book was really interesting, but in my opinion, once the super powers started going around, events happened too fast and various leaps of logic didn't make sense to me. It seemed like a lot of time was invested in writing the first half and the second was rushed. It was still interesting to read and learn about a piece of history from the game world.

Samples of pieces by notable social theorists out of 2 different books. <b>So boring!</b>

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. It's kinda interesting, but I dread finishing the book because then I have to do a B.A. on it with point of view.

I just finished reading "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz. Very good book. Now I'm on to another book by the same man. It's called "The Face" and so far it is very odd. I like it, but it's very strange. I think after this book, I'll read "Memoirs of a Geisha" and then start on the Harry Potter series.

I'm reading John Grisham's The Broker, and also John Irving's Until I Find You. The Grisham is going pretty slowly, because I only read it on my lunch break at work.
