• "A Hat Full of Sky", Terry Pratchett
• "Liars and Thieves", Stephen Coonts
• "Flights, extreme visions of fantasy - Volume I", anthology of various writers
• "Oak: the frame of civilisation", William Bryant Logan

Tried reading a Stephen Coonts novel, found it only so-so. "Oak", which was a non-fiction book, was pretty good, I found all the bits pertaining to the use of oak in ship-building particularly interesting. "A Hat Full of Sky" was more of the usual Terry Pratchett.
