Oooooo, A Clockwork Orange is one of my all-time faves. Great book.
I'm currently plowing my way through the longish Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. It's quite engaging.
I recently finished a book called The Dirt on Clean: An Unsanitized History by Katherine Ashenburg. Super interesting historical account of the bathing habits of people in Europe and America since Roman times. Some very gross history for a clean freak like myself.

Gods and Pawns by Kage Baker.
It's a book of short stories set in Baker's Company series. So far it has been very good, with nice characterisation and dialogue from Baker, as always.

ULYSSES by James Joyce
This is my second attempt. I started it two years ago and didn't make it far. I've since read Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and have a better grasp of his style - as well as his unique punctuation of dialogue. I'm confident I can tackle the beast this time.
Perhaps, someday, Finnegans Wake...

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
I am warning you. Finnegans is the most vicious practical joke ever visited on the human race; I read it in its entirity; I love Portrait of the Artist and I just finished reading The Dead last night and loved it. But Finnegans . . . the man was absolutely sociopathic at that point, I think.
Everyman (16th Century) - Anonymous
Medieval morality play. As fascinating as you might think.
I Am That - Sri Nisargadatta
Work of Indian philosophy. I'd recommend it be read with a huge grain of salt. When it is brilliant, it is truly life changing. And then on the same page it goes completely bonkers. Both excellent and goofy at one time, sometimes within a single sentence.
Phaedra (1677) - Jean Racine
Quite enjoyable little tragedy. It had a couple of great plot twists and it kept me hooked.
Ulysses (1842) - Alfred Tennyson
One of his finest poems; "Though we are not know that strenght which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are." Amen, brother. Amen.
Odes on Intimations of Immortality (1804) - William Wordsworth
Wordsworth tends to defeat me; this is no exception. The section on trailing clouds of glory is brilliant, the rest rather prosaic.
