I've read 4 books in the past week or so:
Delirium of the Brave:
http://www.amazon.com/Delirium-Brave-William-C-Harris/dp/0312977131/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-4423850-5520625?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177682660&sr=1-1
A good read, engaging story. I enjoyed it all the more because it's set in Savannah, and I knew all the places the author was describing, for the most part.
In the Company of Heroes:
http://www.amazon.com/Company-Heroes-Michael-J-Durant/dp/0451219937/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-4423850-5520625?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177682822&sr=1-1
Written by downed Blackhawk pilot Michael Durant, it's a great companion book to Blackhawk Down. I definitely recommend them both.
The Road:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307387895/sr=53-1/qid=1177682901/ref=tr_312951/103-4423850-5520625
Uck. Why is this on Oprah's Book List? I found it very bleak. The author is definitely a great writer, reminds me of Steinbeck. But damn, how many pages describing a burnt-up fucked-up post-apocalyptic landscape do you want to read? Bleak bleak bleak. If you're into that sort of thing, have at it. I think I'll try some of his other books, I won't be re-reading this one.
Missile Gap:

In honor of International Pixelstained Technopeasant Day, Charles Stross released his latest novella for free. Click the link above to read it. I love everything he writes.
