    The Windup Girl by Paulo Bacigalupi.

    Fascinating world building, strong writing, but most of the characters are pretty vile. If not for the titled character it would be a very hard slog, regardless of the fascinating landscape they are all playing in.

    "The Earth Is Weeping: The Epic Story Of The Indian Wars For The American West" by Peter Cozzens

    Very informative book, and pretty poignant given everything that's going on with DAPL, Standing Rock, and the Native Nations March earlier this week.

    1984 by George Orwell. Read it in high school more than forty years ago, but wanted to re-read it as it's more relevant now than ever.

    The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski , which has been a boatload of fun so far and is a collection of short stories featuring Geralt Of Rivia, providing much of the basis for the Witcher video game series.
