Genki is the name of the Japanese textbook you're using? I think that's the exact same textbook we're using in my Japanese class.

I've finished the Iliad, and now I'm reading:

Greek Lyric: An Anthology in Translation (for my Greek Lit class)

and

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (for recreation)
I picked up Choke because I'm a fan of Palahniuk's novels, and I wanted to read Choke before watching the movie. I saw a copy of it in the bookstore for 25% off, and bought it.

Well, I'm reading Die Chemie des Todes (The Chemistry of Death) by Simon Beckett. The book is ok so far, but I'm not really sure if I like it yet or not. Need to read a bit more to decide

The last book I read was 'Death on the Nile' by Agatha Christie. What can I say about it? It's just simply amazing! It was the first book I've ever read written by her and I must say it left quite a good impression! The book began slowly, to the point it bored the heck out of me but half-way into the story is where the real action begins: a murder happens in an african steam boat and detective Poirot has to resolve the murder!

I'm not really sure what I'll be reading next. I'm planning to re-read 'La Sombra del Viento' (The Shadow of the Wind) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. So far, its the best book I've ever read! Check the Wikipedia link I provided!

I'm also interested in reading the Bourne Trilogy written by Robert Ludum. Have seen the third movie and I must say it did impress me a lot. And I heard the books were way better than the movies, so I'm willing to check them out.

Currently reading: To Kill A Mocking Bird for my English class...
For my leisure: "Kaz The Minotaur" by Richard A. Knakk. About a third of the way into it.....Dragonlance for the win!!!

Last book i read: "The Qualanesti" by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya R. Carter (another Dragonlance book (^^)v )

What i want to read: Any more dragonlance books. preferably the Ledgends series, still have not read the third one and i will prolly have to re-read the first two as it has been a while. Also any other fantasy books, it is my all time favorite genre. (hell, it is my dream to become a fantasy writer one day)

I also want to pick up some Dean R. Koontz books, "Servants of Twilight" was the first book i read by him and i want to pick up more of his work

I just finished Lisey's Story (Stephen King) and now I'm reading Wicked (Gregory Maguire). I love reading. Plus, it helps that I work at a book store.
