Nexus by Ramez Naam
Set in 2040, post-human intelligence is real - and considered a danger that needs to be destroyed. Clones, genetic splicing, artifically hyperintelligent humans, all considered illegal by the Chandler Act and the Copenhagen Accords. Nexus: A new street drug that has the curious properties of letting people feel each other's emotions, hear each other's thoughts. From naive Californian university students revelling in their new found connectedness to neuroscience conferences in Bangkok, a tale unwinds plumbing the depths of human reactions to the unknown. Fully recommended - check it out. I'm about to start on the sequel, Crux.

I'm on The Martian bandwagon also - currently about halfway through. It somewhat reminds me of Arthur C. Clarke's A Fall of Moondust.

This book is storytelling to make money and has as much value as a work of history as does The Da Vinci Code. |

The Martian is going for $3USD on Amazon, and the entire Mistborn Trilogy is $5.75USD.
I've just looked over my beach reading backlog - I sure hope there's some free time available! |

I definitely read the second half in much less time than the first, but I think that probably has more to do with having the time on the weekend to do it, rather than the pace of the book. Perhaps. |

Just finished The Denial of Death, by Ernest Becker. A painfully insightful little work of philosophy with many interesting things to say about humanity, mortality and religion.

I got a couple of early Halo books I didn't have, so I'm working my way through all I have at the moment. Such a mixed bag, but still an awesome universe.

Joe Abercrombie's Half a King and Half the World - quicker reads than his earlier stuff and bloody (heh) good. Recommended.
I also finished off Ancillary Sword. Not as good as the first, but that's kind of expected when the first as so much world building and exposition that isn't necessary for a sequel. Still some damn good sci-fi, though. |

Just finishing The Martian (Audiobook read by R. C. Bray)
Haven't watched the movie deliberately, as I've heard many good things about the book and didn't want the movie to ruin that. Amazing stuff. Love the amount of science/math, but i hear the movie is less about that side of things. Does make me want to play KSP.

Two books on the go at the moment.
Representing dead-tree format, we have Chapterhouse: Dune (Frank Herbert). And in the ebook corner, we have The Hydrogen Sonata (Ian M. Banks) FIGHT!
