Just finished Reamde by Neal Stephenson. Great read for a recovered online gaming addict. 1000 pages, but it flew by incredibly fast.

Halfway through "The Long Earth" by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter.  I've found it very interesting with resemblances to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". :)

Nova Praxis. I love Eclipse Phase, so I couldn't help myself. Beautiful job on the pdf, too.

I'm currently working myself through the Deverry series from Katherine Kerr.  Great books, but you have to keep your head with them, as they work on the principle that souls are reborn in new bodies and so from time to time you have those souls again with different names.

Yeah, I read that series years ago and loved it. Some of the first fantasy I read. Really gritty, which is how I like my fantasy.

Shard Basic Compendium. Seems I'm doing more rpg reading lately than I am novel reading.

Recently discovered Simon Morden.
His Metropolis trilogy is pretty nice.


And in the fantasy category I'm busy with the Malazan books series by Steven Erikson.

Also hilarious; Joe Abercrombie.

I've been rereading all the old Shadowrun novels. I just finished the Forever Drug. Jesus, I forgot how dystopian the ending was.

Game of Thrones and Into the Shadows

The Malazan series is amazing.

Laundry files is one of my all time favorite books and probably the best fictional source for SR I've ever read.

I'm about a quarter of the way through "Shake Hands with the Devil" by Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian officer who was saddled with command of the UN mission to Rwanda.  Next on the slate after that are 2 Games Workshop novels about the Imperial Guard.  Then I've got 2 Clancy novels to get caught up on.
