In Fury Born by David Weber.  Strictly military sci-fi, with a great female heroine, until a mythological fury gets involved...

I apologize in advance if I post duplicate pictures in any of the picture threads I deal in.  My MO in getting pictures of one girl is to rip her Instagram.  That ends up with me having up to 2000 pics of her.  I've tried almost half a dozen duplicate finder programs, and none of them find all of the duplicates I inevitably end up with.

Damn it.  You beat me to it.
“HEY, HOLD UP!” Chaka said.  She turned to Jade, “Did you just say that there are monsters in the sewers?”

Jade looked up at her sempai and smiled, “I’m sorry, but as a Junior Waste Management Technician, I am not authorized to discuss this issue.”

For a long time, the whole group stared at the little girl in horror as she licked the spoon.

World War Z by Max Brooks

if you like zombies- this is the ultimate novel.
It's about zombies over-running the entire world told in first person accounts.

Beka Cooper Book One: Terrier, and Book Two: Bloodhound, by Tamora Pierce.  Believable police fiction set in a fantasy city, with a 16-17 heroine who kicks ass.

I just finished the Dark Tower series. Well, the first four books were fantastic.

I just wizzed through 3 mediocre books and I'm almost done with Her Fearful Symmetry which is a pretty good book. (The second book by Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife)
100% real woman, with notarized documents and witnesses to back this claim up.

'08?  I have all of them up to Dzur, so I've been lagging behind.  I guess I now have a good use for that Chapters gift card I got for Christmas...
I also have the series that started with The Phoenix Guards and ended with Sethra Lavode, set in the same universe but earlier than the Vlad Taltos series.  I highly recommend those too.  Actually, I recommend anything that Steven Brust has ever written.   :D

Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Taleb.   It's one of those books that makes you think.

You, too, Shara? I tried five or six times; finally, I decided that Finnegan's Wake would be more accessible. There's a couple of years I'll never get back!
