Two books recently finished:
"The Cold Equations and Other Stories", by Tom Godwin. Bought from Baen in 2003. "The Cold Equations" is of course one of the most famous (and controversial) SF short stories ever written, and it concludes this excellent volume of Godwin's work. My personal favourite is the short novel, "The Survivors", which opens the collection. Highly recommended.
"Cross Bones", by Kathy Reichs. The 8th book in the "Temperance Brennan" series about a forensic anthropologist working in Canada. A bit of a departure from the earlier books in the series; this one is more of an "archaeological thriller" about the possible discovery of the bones of Jesus (hence the book's title). Very enjoyable.
