Just finished this month's Book Club selection, Hal Spacejock by Simon Hayes; one of the most enjoyable books I've read in quite a while. I love robots with personality, and Hal's sidekicks—the dilapidated but spirited Clunk and the ship's snarky computer—are a real hoot.
Also, I'm a bit over half-way through a book recommended by KennyC: Forged: Writing in the Name of God—Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are by Bart D. Ehrman. With his insights, scholarship, historical knowledge of the subject, and clear style of writing he has produced a book that is as informative as it is a pleasure to read.
The only thing I don't like about Forged is that it isn't available in a Kindle format, so I'm having to settle for reading it on my iPad; which means that if and when the Kindle edition ever comes out, I'll have to buy it again so I can copy all the highlighted passages to my computer.
