I never have just 1 book going. I try to get to Barnes and Noble or this little hometown bookstore where I live at least 1-2 x's per week and while there I'm reading Cross Country by Patterson (I'll buy the paperback eventually I think...though I love the Alex Cross books so I might splurge on the hb).
I'm also re-reading Last of the Breed by L'amour. I had to read it in HS (that was a long time ago!) and I loved it, the only L'amour book I really go into.
In the bio category I'm reading a bio of St. Patrick (St. Patrick of Ireland by P. Freeman) and so far (chap. 3) it is pretty good.
Finally I'm working on: Paradise Lost (for the 4th time!) and then "When I Don't Desire God" by John Piper.
Just started Orhan Pamuk's "My Name Is Red". Quite a pleasant read, however the only English translation at times reads a bit stiffly. I like it so far, but it's still early.

As for Anna Karenina, in the previous post, I don't think I've ever finished it, but I keep a copy around and every once in a while I read a few pages, at random, just to remind me what great writing really is.
A little rough around the edges, but a great read!
Pieces Of My Heart by Robert J. Wagner. I love biographies and autobiographies and this one was a good read. Mr. Wagner gave had a lot of insight on old Hollywood-fascinating stories of old greats like Cary Grant and David Niven.
STILL reading Anna Karenina (sigh). It's taking me forever. All those 'skis', my LORD! I can't keep them straight...have to keep looking back to figure out who the characters are. haha.
So true! I've tried to read it twice and have given up after the first chapter, since I can't keep the characters straight. I need to find a book group with whom to to discuss it. So many people say it's one of their favorite books.
I'm reading the dirt by Motley Crue for the third time!its just an awesome book.
