I just got a huge book with seven Jules Verne novels, so I'm just starting on Five Weeks in a Balloon.

No, it's put out by Penguin Classics, entitled The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories

I've only read 4 stories so far, I enjoyed both "Dagon"and "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family" the most.

Just wait 'til you get to classics like "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "The Dunwich Horror."

Paradise Lost by Milton. Its such a pretty and evocative book. Especially in the first descriptions of Hell and Death at the gates of Hell.

Then next I will read the Illiad And Odyssey by Homer. Today I'm buying the Metamorphoses by Ovid and the Aenid by Virgil :D

The Dresden Files. I'm trying to read the entire series (minus the short stories) this month, before I have to return them to the library. They're in really high demand, so odds are I won't be able to renew. So far, I've read from Storm Front through Dead Beat. They're pretty good, and I love Harry's snark, but it seems like the entire universe is out to get him sometimes, and I find that a bit off-putting. Gonna stick with it and see if that feeling goes away, though.

If manga counts then I'm currently just about to start reading the fifth volume of Bakuman - if not then I'm still somewhere in the first 30 pages of the latest Discworld book. I've hardly had time to read anything over the past few months - which is really annoying for someone who thrives on books.
