Just finished "Consider Phlebas" by Ian M. Banks.
I picked up "Balshazzar's Serpent" by Jack L. Chalker as a paper back book to read while the Nook is charging or not close enough to me to grab.
Reading such a 'high' scifi book from Mr. Banks put me in the mood for something fantasy so on the recommendations from the fine folks out here I'm trying "Sweet Silver Blues" by Glen Cook.
