Reading the Supernatual Season One guide (as I finally got round to picking up the dvd), and Die For Me by Karen Rose, as I'm getting into crime thrillers again.

I decided to re-read some books I've read in polish many years ago, this time in english (especially makes sense if they were written in english originally, doesn't it?) Right now I'm half way through The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick.

I'm also reading Oliver Sacks' Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain - this one requires quite some help from wikipedia, so is going kinda slow, interesting stuff though.

The third one started at the moment is The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Shea and Wilson. Also not the easiest read, but I find it quite hilarious.

I do it because not all of the books are suitable to carry aroud and/or being read without help from dictionary or wikipedia (well, for me at least). I would start a more difficult book and read a few more approachable ones by the time I'm through with it.

From wiki:
The plot and structure of Foucault's Pendulum are also reminiscent of that of the American "popular fiction" series, The Illuminatus! Trilogy, published 13 years earlier; it is unclear if Eco was aware of the earlier work before he conceived the idea.
I'll go back to the illuminatus trilogy one day. i read it, but was too stoned most of the time to appreciate it properly :(

'Kennedy's Brain' by Henning Mankell. It's a mystery but not a Wallander novel, and to be honest it's not as good as his usual stuff. Still pretty good tho

"A Hero of Our Time" by Mikhail Lermontov, the first truly Russian novel, everything that had preceeded this was considered poetry in prose and considering the date of publication (1840) this novel was waaayyyy ahead of its time...
