I'm working my way through Jack McDevitt's "Academy" series. That, and the "Alex Benedict" series, too. Well-written and enjoyable sci-fi; thought-provoking and sensible.

Ulysses by James Joyce

MARINE SNIPER by Charles Henderson. About GSGT Carlos Hathcock and his exploits in Viet Nam. He literally founded the most successful U S sniper program up to that time in history. A tremendously gutsy guy with 93 confirmed kills in the field. Military buffs enjoy this book.
Thomas Pynchon Inherent Vice. Heard they're making a movie out of it next year that Paul Thomas Anderson is directing.
The Thicket by Joe R. Lansdale
Just finished 'Sputnik sweetheart' by Haruki Murakami. While i'm not 100% sure what was it all about but it was a great book anyway. Surely gives a lot to think about for days to come. And that is what all the great books are.
Enjoying Johan Scalzi's "Redshirts"
Cross Star Trek with an away out concept and ... well, that's Scalzi
