I finished my read over the weekend. I'd put it in the top 3 of Abercrombie's books behind Heroes and Best Served Cold.
I look forward to the conflict between magic and technology, especially seeing who championed the technology in Heroes.
I moved on to The Dirty Streets of Heaven by Tad Williams.
I recently finished reading No Easy Day... good read... not nearly as controversial as the press made it out to be, I thought. Now I've started reading the Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series again. I had abandoned it about 2/3 of the way through years ago, and it's long enough that I figure I've forgotten plenty and ought to just start at the beginning again.

One of my favorite series. Were you aware that the last book is due in Jan 2013?
My two best friends and I have started a reading club. We take a month to read a book and then discuss it before moving on to the next one. I just finished Neuromancer by William Gibson, and we're doing Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island next.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. This is a great read, 3rd time through. Love the way they deal w/magic and science.
I was recently given a Jewish New Testament. Interesting paraphrase...doubt I'll read the whole thing.
I'm actually reading the Holy Bible, cover to cover. I just finished the book of Ruth, got a ways to go. This is not because I am, or am not, a religious man, I figure if there is one book a person should have under his belt, this would be it. I'm not interested in a debate, opinions, or advice on the matter. Just responding to the OP's original question.
I haven't reread it yet. Probably will reread books 1 & 2 when book 3 is closer to coming out.

I happen to be reading WoT as well, mostly since the last book comes out in January.
Machine of Death - A collection of short stories about people who know how they will die.

I'm continuing along the path of my horrible junkie like addiction to Tom Clancy. After finishing The Bear and the Dragon, I quickly went through The Teeth of the Tiger, and now I'm reading Red Storm Rising. I'm hoping that since this is one of his older books it will be better than the last few that I've read. So far it seems to be a slightly higher caliber of writing than the post-1990 material.
Just started Moby Dick.
One Second After. It was highly recommended, but at the halfway mark it was getting boring and predictable. Trying to push to finish it.
Top of the Rock, by Warren Littlefield about NBC's rise during the 80's and 90's (Cosby Show, Cheers, Seinfeld).

It's not White Noise. Nor is it Underworld. But it's GOOD!

I am now working my way through Lee Child's, Jack Reacher books. Jack is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. He is a no nonsense type of guy, who makes sure his enemy is down before turning his back on them.
Pride and Prejudice.
I read my AV (Authorized King James Version) religiously!
I just ordered Pride, Prejudice and Zombies! Should be a hoot.
