Re-reading The Amber Spyglass for the first time since it came out. Far more thought-provoking now than when I was in middle school.

Batman
Not all those who wander are lost...
Batman: Earth One by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. It's a really fresh take on the Batman origin story.
Terminus
If I was a wizard this wouldn't be happening to me
Doctor Who: Shada (The Lost Adenture): Novelisation of the unaired Fourth Doctor story by Douglas Adams. Hilarious as hell, I recommend it!

Reading Pure by Julianna Baggott. I just got it yesterday, so I'm only, like, 70 pages into it, but it's pretty good so far. It's about a post-apocalyptic world after a series of nuclear bombs' detonations [a spin on 'MAD'] in contrast to an isolated dome [that somehow blocked out gamma radiation... /logic]. But anyways... I'm too early in the book to know the absolute plot except that the two main characters--one a "wretch" from the ruins, one a "Pure" from the Dome--are going to discover some corruption in the scheme of things.
Also, weirdest thing ever: almost all of the people living outside the dome who survived the Detonations and were in contact with an object... the exposure to the electromagnetic pulse something-something altered their molecular structure and literally fused the people to random objects. The main character, Pressia, got her hand replaced with a doll's head. Eieee...
But, yeah. Good book so far. Other than a few inconsistencies and illogical occurrences here and there; all-in-all, most of the science behind it could be seen possible--a stretch, but Baggott clearly combined research with imagination, so I'm not going to complain.

I recently started Things Fall Apart.
It's a different look into the African continent from a native Nigerian. Customs are discussed in detail and the threatened native way of life if juxtaposed when European missionaries come abroad. Although the author, Chinua Achebe, is an African, he seems to condemn certain tribal traditions.

I was gonna finally pick up the sequel to a Runescape novel I really enjoyed, but the subject matter has suddenly gotten extremely dismal so I shelved it and went for a Guildwars novel that is also pretty good. But my reservation of Jurassic Park has come in at the library so I'll be reading that for a couple of weeks.
