How about everyone else?
Except for TTRPG books, I seem to be in a reading doldrum.
Nevertheless, I've got the following SFF reads sitting beside the bed:
* The Best of John Brunner
* Cautionary Tales by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
* Motherlines by Suzy McKee Charnas
* Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams
Oh, and my daughter recently got me to buy Circe by Madeline Miller and it looks fairly intriguing.

Recent TTRPG reads have included:
* Halls of the Blood King by Diogo Nogueira (adventure for Old School Essentials)
* Mothership Sci-Fi Horror RPG
* Errant - A Fantasy Role Playing Game by Ava Islam
* Cryptworld (a reprint/reworking of the old Chill TTRPG)
* Labyrinth Lord (reworked Basic/Expert D&D)
* Advanced Edition Companion for Labyrinth Lord (adds 1st ed AD&D options to Labyrinth Lord)
* Basic and Expert D&D rulebooks
* Bit of Rules Cyclopedia
* 1st ed AD&D PHB and DMG
* Dragon Lords of Melnibone, Adventuring in a Dark World of Law & Chaos D20 sourcebook
* Randomly browsing the first 110 issues of Dragon magazine (hint: Internet Archive)
I suppose the secret is that I'm not really reading so much as browsing anything that isn't essentially a short pamphlet.
