Things have finally calmed down to the "hurry up and wait" stage around here, and I got a lot of reading done. I read and loved John Scalzi's Old Mans War, The Ghost Brigade, and The Last Colony. I then re-read The Forever War by Joe Haldeman(with an interesting forward by John Scalzi). I then moved on to Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein, and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

I'm taking a break from military type science fiction, and just started 11/22/63 by Stephen King. I really like it so far. Not as good as The Stand or The Dark Tower, but much better than Under the Dome.

After that, I'm not sure. Maybe IQ84 by Haruki Murakami, or a quick re-read of The Christmas Books of Charles Dickens.
