A couple hours a day commuting on the train has turned me into a voracious reader, typically alternative history with some sf thrown in. I've probably buried 50+ books in the past year.
Of note:
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Robert Rankin, The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocolypse and The Witches of Chiswick (highly recommended, a must read)
Terry Brooks, Armageddon's Children and The Elves of Cintra
Harry Turtledove, In at the Death
Tom De Haven, It's Superman
Al Gore, The Assault on Reason
Chris Mooney, Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming
Karl Schroeder, Sun of Suns and Queen of Candesce
I've also read a lot of mildly entertaining garbage, not worthy of note.
