Two more books read:
"The Sleeping Dragon", by Joel Rosenberg. The first volume of the "Guardians of the Flame" series, and the first third of the Baen omnibus also called "The Guardians of the Flame", which I bought from Baen in 2003. Fairly standard "D&D players find themselves for real in the world of their game" fantasy, but well done. Not terribly taxing, but nonetheless enjoyable. (Joel Rosenberg is not to be confused with Joel C. Rosenberg, who writes Dan Brown-style thrillers.)
"Eater", by Gregory Benford. Excellent hard SF by one of the best living exponents of the genre. Astronomers detect a small black hole passing through the outer reaches of the solar system, but then receive intelligent communications from it. Very well written and intelligent SF. Highly recommended!
