I have a queue of picks on my TODO list for reading, but goodness knows when I'll get to them. My list includes sci-fi, fantasy, natural history, scientific, technical...some of it re-reads. However, I'm currently comparing/contrasting/learning about FOSS library (you know, those buildings chock full o' printed books) software to identify a solution set for a small, relatively financially strapped library whose web pages are living in the 20th century. I can't even begin to deploy code before July due to organizational changes (new director takes charge in July), but I have zero experience in programming for public libraries, and there is much to learn about the business issues as well as potential FOSS solutions.
In general, I like to read (I no longer own paper books - I donated all of them after building an e-library of thousands of "books"). Sometimes my reading requirement is as simple as words on a page - depends on where I am and what level of distraction I want. I read a lot of online news related to tech, science, and politics. Quick turnover, low time-commitment frequently matters most.
Placing one, single BOOK title at the top of my TOREAD list...Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child.
