I finished Peter F. Hamilton's
Fallen Dragon last night. I quite liked it, but didn't inhale it quite as fast as some other recent 600+ page books (like Harry Potter). It's a standalone book (well, there may be sequels but it's a complete story not obviously part of a trilogy like his Nights Dawn books) with some interesting characters whose viewpoints it flips between. I didn't even notice at first that two of the viewpoints were different points in the same person's life, but I'd have to go back and reread some to see if I was supposed to.
Next up, I think is Neil Gaiman's
Adventures in the Dream Trade.
