Let's give this a try. The meme asks:
What are you reading now? What did you just finish reading? What do you expect to read next?
In my case, this is a little tricky because I'm often reading two or more things, but:
Current: Infidel, by Kameron Hurley.
Recently finished: Three for the Chair, by Rex Stout.
Next, I have no idea, because I have a couple of things I feel though I should read, including a career advice book I borrowed from the library and have now renewed without actually starting. On my bedside table a novel that I read the first chapter of and then put aside because the beginning felt too similar to another book I started at about the same time in ebook form; and various free stuff I have downloaded to my kindle.
I'm enjoying the Hurley, but it's rather dark; it's also the second of a trilogy, and I would strongly recommend starting at the beginning, with God's War. The Stout is a collection of three of his Nero Wolfe novellas; I grabbed it semi-randomly at the library because the first didn't push my "wait, I've read this" button (which is a disadvantage in rereading mysteries). Fun, in a light sort of way, and the past is definitely a different country, and not just in the obvious relevant-to-mystery-fiction ways of changes in communications and transportation.
I am only counting books for this purpose. My other recent reading includes short fanfiction at Archive of Our Own, articles in Science magazine, various news stories online, and blog posts.
