I think I've discovered a book to get me out of my reading slump and also out of 19th century musical London. Someone on this thread awhile ago recommended The Martian, by Andy Weir and it's just been released as an ebook. About an astronaut on a mission to Mars who is injured and assumed dead and his body left on the planet by his fellow astronauts who leave to come home. Except, of course, he's not. I'm six chapters in and enjoying it a lot. The humor in it makes for a very different (and very welcome) sci-fi reading experience.
