Last three weeks I finished John Scalzi's "the consuming fire" and "the last emperox" and "the android's dream". Latter one was just up my ally, the other two were fine except for the villains of the story, they were too over the top for me. Somewhere along the line I also read Orson Scott Card's "the last shadow", I had read all the Ender and shadow books years ago, but somehow missed this one. It's not the best book in the series, way too much people for way too little storyline. In the last month and a half or so I've read the Beastie Boys book by Adam Horovitz and Michael Diamond, which was a good book to read on and off between doing other stuff. Basically I forgot to mention it before because I wasn't reading it during my normal reading time. Currently I've just started "the long earth" by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, it's a bit too early for an opinion on that one.
