I'm currently reading Annals of the Former World. The author followed different geologists around for about 20 years. Fascinating if you're into geology. It's not like a textbook - more like a memoir.

I finished Desert Solitaire earlier this week. I've also read two collections of short stories. One just called Stories and edited by Neil Gaiman. The other Songs of Love and Death edited by George R.R.Martin. Both were quite good.

I've read "countless" kid novels this summer too.
