Currently recommending -

Quicksilver (Neal Stephenson) - fiction
Thick book, quite interesting, though
First of three, the other two are out in HB

Mister Monday (Garth Nix) - children's fiction
Fun fantastical adventure, first of seven :O books
but short, next two are out already.

Founding Brothers (Ellis) - historical
Short essays on the various founding fathers of the US
He also wrote a new Washington book and Ameican Sphinx
about Jefferson
