Bass Culture - Lloyd Bradley, nice book about the hostory of reggae + jamaica.
The Timewasters Letters - Robin Cooper, fsckin halarious book filled with pointless letter to people.
Droid Maker (George Lucas and the Digital Revolution) - Micheal Rubin, proper geeky book about the HUGE influence george lucas' company has had over the computer graphics + sound industries. If you like that sort of thing i highly recomend getting an american import!
and i finished the John Peel biography a little while ago too, very interesting!

Currently reading"
"Footprints of Gautama the Buddha" - Marie Beuzeville Byles
"House of Leaves" - Mark Danielewski - Only started this last night and im looking forward to getting into it after hearing lots of great reviews.
Recently finished:
"Saddhartha" - Hermann Hesse - Classic tale, one of the best books i've ever read. Sparked my interest in Buddhism, hence me currently reading Footprints of Gautama...
"Perdido Street Station" - China Mieville - Awesome mixture of fantasy and sci-fi.
"Vurt" - Jeff Noon - Twisted cyberpunk sci-fi

as i said in my first post this book is an essential read i have never read anything quite like it! there is a whole forum dedicated to it:
http://www.houseofleaves.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3
however i'd advise you to read the book first b4 lookin at the forum but it does add a diffrent perspective.
