I've been plowing through Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything for a few months now. Great, informative stuff written in his usual witty style, but every now any again I have to put it down due to information overload and read a Terry Pratchett novel or something from Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files.

Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods" is brilliant. I was reading portions of it out loud, and I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe. Highly recommended!
"In a Sunburned Country" about Australia, is also an excellent read.

I can't believe I still haven't finished The Scarlet Letter!

I've got Osborne's Look Back in Anger, Synge's Playboy of the Western World an Genet's Maids lying on the table in front of me - which one should I pick up next?

I'd never heard of the guy until I had to read The Lost Continent for a college class, and he quickly became one of my favorites. It's so hard to write humor, and I especially appreciate someone who can mix humor and tragedy as well as he can.

This, in my humble opinion, was funny! Total waste.
