Use SetDirectory to change the working directory if necessary.  Then:

Block[{strm=OpenRead[#],result},result={#,Read[strm]};Close 
[strm];result]&/@FileNames[]

will return a list whose elements are the name of the file and its  
contents, assuming the files contain Mathematica expressions, you can  
play with the form of Read to get the results you need.
