For those reading Huxley, I'd also recommend the book Island. It's kind of the opposite of Brave New World in some way, as it was more his idea of Utopia. It's one of my personal favs!

"Jack and Jill" by James Patterson.

Sadly, Cross's close relationship with his partner, Sampson, makes me pine for the friendships I once had.

I've got two I'm chewing on.

My friend was listening to the audio book of Leviathan Wakes by James Corey - he liked it so much that he bought it for me on Kindle and told me I needed to read it; so far pretty entertaining.

The other one I just bought; Alan Moore's Jerusalem. I've got that in hardbound sitting in my room, an almost 1300 page novel and the way people seem to be talking about it it's a bit like this could end up being a modern classic. Haven't gotten too far in yet (I'm in book one still) but I'm quite interested in staying the course and seeing where he takes this.

Dark Age Naval Warfare.

Very informative book about how the much spotlighted Viking sea raids and expeditions were actually only the last of a long line of Germanic naval warfare, predated by Rhine and North Sea Germanic tribes in the first century BC, and their later descendants, the Franks and Saxons in their depredations on the Roman Empire. Germanic pirates, carrying out amphibious warfare, had ranged far and wide, attacking the coasts of Britain, Belgium, Gaul, and even Spain, North Africa, and almost unbelievably, the coast of Asia Minor (Turkey).
