You know, Pemdas, you could just hyperlink it instead of putting the URL in a Spoilers tag.

A Witch's guide to cooking with Children by Keith McGowan....pretty good and funny for a children's book. When Sol and Connie Blink move to Grand Creek, one of the first people to welcome them is an odd older woman, Fay Holaderry, and her friendly dog, Swift, who carries a very strange bone in his mouth. Sol knows a lot more than the average eleven-year-old, so when he identifies the bone as human, he and Connie begin to wonder if their new neighbor is up to no good. In a spine-tingling adventure that makes them think twice about who they can trust, Sol and Connie discover that solving mysteries can be a dangerous game—even for skilled junior sleuths.

If Loving You Is Wrong - a book chronicling the Mary Kay Letourneau case. I'm about 3/4 through it, though I'm kind of sick of it and ready for it to be done.
Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue - a book detailing the evolution of English. About 2/5 of the way through. Fascinating subject, but I can't stand the way it's written. It's written so informally it might as well be a transcribed version of a spoken monologue, and the author belabors whatever point he's trying to prove to the point where I want to scream. ffs, I get that the word "do" comes from Celtic and related languages. You don't need to spend 70 pages getting that point across while simultaneously whining that most linguists don't agree with you, man.

"Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Doestovsky
Once I'm done with that, I'll go ahead and read "The Idiot" by Fyodor Doestovsky and "The Time Wanderers" by Arkads and Boris Strugatsky. For some reason, I feel like reading a lot now.

The style of the book was just too maddening. Anyway, I'm now reading One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Scott, you ought to pick this book up... assuming you haven't already, haha.

Music Theory for the Music Professional - A complicated mess of musical concepts and related junk. Looks like it could be used in a music theory class, which I cannot take now, which is why I study this book on my own.
