Re-reading For Us, The Living - Heinlein's last book.
As close to a Utopia as I can envision... maaaybe would be a little better with a little of Aldous Huxley's Island mixed in.

I'm about halfway through The Great Mortality by John Kelly. It's been alternately fascinating and utterly depressing at times.

Halfway through E.P Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class. Excellent book.

I was disappointed in Dime Store Magic, Wolf.

Reading (re-reading?) The Stand by Stephen King. It's the 'uncut' version. A bit tedious, but some good stuff to take out of it. I have found that my reading preferences have changed much since High School!

As a matter of fact, I tried re-reading that last week (or two weeks ago or something like that).
I just couldnt. I got about a hundred pages in and just... couldnt do it again. Not worth it.
