I'm reading Sherwood Smith's Banner of the Damned, still in manuscript. I'm reading to make comments. Smith's writing in this novel shows a writer at the height of her powers: beautiful prose plus a bone deep understanding of the cultures through which her characters travel. A novel like this one could be required reading in world building. I believe it's due for publication in 2012.
Because reading to comment (beta-reading) is a different kettle of fish from reading for pleasure, I'm also reading J. Damask's Wolf At The Door (urban fantasy set in Singapore by a Singaporean writer) and Noble Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee's memoir (with Carol Mithers) Mighty Be Our Powers.

I'm currently reading The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan (Second in the Wheel of Time series). I've heard great things about this series and finally decided to take the plunge. I'm doing it on audio which makes it a lot easier as I can read other, lighter things as well. My other book right now is Naamah's Kiss by Jacqueline Carey. I love the personal feel of her books. She makes the people feel completely real even as they're doing all these amazing things.
Sharon - while I haven't read the Jordan books, the nice thing is that if you like the series, there are a lot of them!I really enjoyed the Kushiel books.
