I'm putting aside fiction for a while, I recently started "Chaos: Making a new science" 
by James Gleick, it's a pop science intro for Chaos Theory but a well-researched one which doesn't fall into quackery. Also thanks to our !mathematics friends for their textbook recommendations

I was reading a biography on Henry Green, got to where he wrote Blindness, realize I hadn't read it, read Blindness, and am now back in the biography
I am also reading a book of interviews of Edward Gorey. I pick it up, read one, and put it down to read something else
This about pasta from the July 1986 issue of The Atlantic. Don't even need a subscription, just click the PDF, they can't stop you
Rare & Lovely Dolls: Two Centuries of Beautiful Dolls by John Noble, and oh boy did it ever live up to its title

Speaking of Blindness, if you haven't you should read Blindness by José Saramago, Ensaio sobre a Cegueira In Portuguese. One of my favorite books. They also made a movie adaptation but it's nowhere near as good as the book.
