I finally finished Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge last night. I've been a bit bogged down with it, and missed a few days when I was away for the weekend, but I basically liked it. The main issues were that it was kind of bitty, and it wasn't all that clear who the good guys were for quite a long while. This was a Hugo winner in the mid-00s. It's a relatively near future thriller heavy on the network technology.
To take a break from that, I also read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie earlier this week. I think my expectations were a bit too keyed up, and I always suspected the eventual murderer, but it was fun getting there.
I have the next Hugo winner and the next Poirot both sitting beside me on the coffee table (both pbooks), and I'll probably start one or both of them very shortly.
