The Caves of Steel - Isaac Asimov. 50s, Detective, P&M, Series, Listomania - A fun read
The Forever War - Joe Haldeman. Read Again - This one is a classic.
The Water Knife - Paolo Bacigalupi. 2015, P&M - Kind of close to home, so a bit scary.
Slow Bullets - Alastair Reynolds. 2015, Short, Out There - excellent
A Life for the Stars - James Blish. Sequel, Clear, Space Opera, Series - ok
The Naked Sun - Isaac Asimov. Sequel, P&M, 50s, Detective - Another fun read

One non-genre fiction book (Go Set a Watchman - Harper Lee) and one nonfiction book.

I am 2/3s of the way through Seveneves. Very good, so far.
