At the moment I'm reading "Seville Communion" by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. (Original title is "La piel del tambor")

Murderous goings-on in a tiny baroque church draw the Vatican into the dark heart of Seville. A hacker gets into the Pope's personal computer to leave a warning about mysterious deaths in a small church in Seville that is threatened with demolition. Father Quart, a suave Vatican trouble-shooter, is sent to investigate. Experience has taught him to deal with enemies of the Church in all their guises, but nothing has prepared him for the stubborn faith of Father Ferro, or the appeal of the lovely Macarena Bruner, desperate to save the church of her ancestors from her ex-husband, the ruthless banker Pencho Gavira. As Quart is drawn into an intrigue as labyrinthine as the streets of Seville, soon more than his vocation is in danger.

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. I usually hate Atwood, but this is my 2nd time reading the novel and I just LOVE it.

Actually, since this is such a long book I chose to listen to it. It's 55 hours long :) Took me eight days.

Just read "The Tea Rose" by jennifer Donnelly and I LOVED it. it's a historical romance novel and it has been so looooong since I have read that type of book - it used to be my very favorite kind. This is a wonderful, get lost in and enjoy summer read.
