Any recommendations?

I really enjoyed Boneshaker and I read Leviathan in one sitting. Steampunky goodness (Boneshaker/Leviathan) and alternate history (Peshawar Lancers (Interesting premise, but, uh, let's call it Kipling-esque.)/Lord Darcy) seem to be the themes of the last few weeks for my reading choices.

Oh, and The Library was fun, even without airships.

Having finally read Solaris, I really have to wonder who thought "this would make an excellent movie". Although from what I hear, it didn't make an "excellent" movie at all. ;)

Whew... that's more than one a week! I average about 6-7 books a year, nowadays.

#52... work-related? (ducks)

Heh. No, it's not about the OS, it's science fiction. We run CentOS anyway. ;)
