Last month I read "Original Sin." You know, the one that got all the buzz in the spring. I recommend it, as long as you are willing to be somewhat angry in the process.
Two other recent ones were by acclaimed historian Rick Atkinson. One was his second volume on the American Revolutionary War, and the other was volume three of his WW II trilogy.
As something completely different, I just checked out John Scalzi's old "Red Shirts" novel. I saw him speak for the second time at a local book festival this spring, the same as where I listened to Rick Atkinson. Scalzi is quite entertaining in person. Because I had already read his most recent books, I went back in his catalog.
