Sense8 The Wachowskis

Jennifer Government by Max Barry

This book was selected to revisit an author whose book, Lexicon, was a masterpiece.  It was like visiting an old friend, but through time travel to a time before you knew them.  A time before they had grown and developed into the person you chose to become a part of your life.  Max Barry's - Jennifer Government feels like the main character from Dani Kollin's - The Unicorporated Man married the main character from John Scalzi's - Lock In, a fast and fun investigation into a world where corporations determine your whole identity, attempt to destroy the world you live in, and make as much money as possible on the way.  Max Barry's writing style and prose have come legions from his voice in this book but it is well worth the read for entertainment.

Air: Or, Have Not Have Paperback by Geoff Ryman

The Martian Paperback by Andy Weir

This book was recommeded to be way back when it was still free and only on the Internet. My niece's finacee said it is a must read and he has great taste and reads, like, a lot. So I read the first sentence. Ha! Then the first paragraph. Ha again! And then I was hooked. Who knew reading about someone being stranded could be so much fun. The science was beyond me, but that didn't seem to matter. The characters were terrific. So after a free Internet book, it was papeback and now a movie coming out Thanksgiving time. Can't wait. I just hope Mat Damon is able to keep the sarcasm and wit of the original in his characterization. Fun fun fun.
