Currently reading The Road to Serfdom by F. A. Hayek. Not exactly an easy or fun read, but so far, it definitely seems worth my time.
I recently read The Martian as well, I enjoyed it.
Also recently read King of Thieves (Odyssey One: Star Rogue) and now reading Into the Black (Odyssey One Book 1) both by Evan Currie. They are both pretty good.
Finished Code of Conduct" a few weeks ago. Started another Brad Thor book, "The Lions of Lucerne" a few nights ago. I guess it's the first book with the character Scot Harvath. So far so good.
just finished the first five books of "The Expanse" by James S.A. Correy, "Wacht am Rhein" by John Ringo and started "The Physics of Stargates" by Enrico Rodrigo.
Expanse books are good space opera.
I just started book 3, and agree they are very good so far. Was surprised to find that Corey is a pen name for two guys - one of whom is George R.R. Martin's (yes, from Game of Thrones) assistant. They each write a handful of the chapters, which are written from different characters' perspectives.Quote:

I also lost an hour or two watching interviews with the author - the story of how he wrote it and got it published was pretty amazing. Adam from Mythbusters did a good interview or two with him.
Guess I got on a space theme this month or something.
I'm re-reading the first two books of The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss. If you like fantasy, this is must-read stuff.
After that's done, I'll be reading The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker.

Overall it's an ok read, I'll try the next one in the series.
