Since I think we don't have something like this yet, I'll start one. If there already is, feel free to point me there.
Post what light novels you have been / are reading, and maybe add a comment as to how you like(d) it and possibly what it is about. (the focus is on light novels for now. It's of course allowed to post opinions to translated novels here on B-T)
As for me:
I recently read "なれる!SE―2週間でわかる?SE入門" (System Engineer - you can become it! System engineering in 2 weeks[?]).
Well, it's about a poor university graduate who has trouble finding a job and eventually even falls for an attractive job ad for a system engineer, which turns out to be inhumanly hard work that requires him to work from the early morning until the late evening, off-the-clock of course.
Working in the IT field myself, I really enjoyed it. I could often agree to what was being said, and I always smiled when the protagonist was taught something I already knew. I also liked that the story didn't purely rely on comedy (the unreasonable milking), but also had its serious parts.
And currently:
The Astonishment of Suzumiya Haruhi (1).
I'm about half through, but so far it hasn't really taken hold of me yet. Perhaps I should have re-read volume 9 before starting it, since I remember next to nothing. Actually, I'm even playing with the thought of putting it on hold and starting Iriya no Sora instead.
Finally, a little off-topic, I finished "きっと、澄みわたる朝色よりも、" (visual novel) yesterday after starting it 2 years ago. Totally met my taste. Only one heroine and almost no H-content, だがそれがいい. The last chapter went too far with the supernatural stuff, but graphic-wise, music-wise as well as story-wise I'm satisfied.
