Recently purchased

Ken Follet- World Without End, I really enjoyed Pillars of the Earth so hope this follow-up is just as good.
Terry Pratchett-Mort & Wyrd Sisters, getting there with the discworld series :)
Ken Follet-A Dangerous Fortune
 
Naked - David Sedaris
Three Minute Meditator - Harp and Smiley
and
Crimes and Puzzlement - which is one of those read-the-paragraph, look-at-the-picture, solve-the-crime books. Amusing.
 
recently borrowed:
Sideways - Rex Pickett
The Cabal and other stories - Ellen Gilchrist
The Confessions of Max Tivoli- Andrew Sean Greer
The Electric Michelangelo - Sarah Hall
The Stupidest Angel - Christopher Moore

no rhyme or reason- I just went to the library and randomly pulled stuff off the shelf.
 
Templar Knight, Forbidden Bride - Lynna Banning

Another Harlequin historical by the author of my last visit to Crusades-related romance. :)
 
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.
