Some continuing installments in different series (new S.M. Stirling and Peter F. Hamilton stuff), and started out reading "The Culture" novels by Ian Banks. Still on the library waiting list for the latest "Honorverse" installment.
Alister McClean, "Santorini". Excellent read, nukes, terrorism, suspense. Well written.
Curious George goes to School, Horses and Foals, Click Clack Moo, and any other books my 1,3 or 5 year old bring me.
