My last few reads:
Galactic Patrol by EE "Doc" Smith - Poor. Hasn't aged well at all. Clunkily written, with way too many exclamation marks, and very few actual setbacks for our super powered Lensman.
Songs of the Earth by Elspeth Cooper - Solid mainstream fantasy; volume 1 of 4. Didn't do anything to lift itself out of the crowd, in my opinion, but decent enough that I'd happily read the next one.
Lines of Departure by Marko Kloos - I read and enjoyed the first book in this series a few weeks ago, and this follow-up maintains the good work. A very enjoyable chunk of military SF from amazon's own imprint, which I'd probably never have read without the Kindle Lending Library.
Back to crime next, with Punishment by Anne Holt, I think.
