I'm still reading the weird sci-fi series by Ann Leckie about the millennia-old android soldier that I was talking up a while ago. The second book (Ancillary Sword) was nowhere near as good as the first (Ancillary Justice), but there is still just a shit ton of weirdness and bizarre plot developments that make it a worthy thing. About to start the third book and I think its set-up is promising. When a series spans a couple thousand years and the main character is a piece of a fractured consciousness fighting both an evil empire and an alien race that preys on all things, it better goddamn well end on a high note.
I also read The Revenant by Michael Punke. I'd skimmed it a few months ago, and found the story and narrative to be pretty interesting, so I grabbed a copy at Target for a few bucks and read the whole thing. I haven't seen the movie and have no real desire to, but the book is short and well-written. A nice way to kill off a Sunday afternoon.
