Anyone else read good books lately? Gotta find something to jump to afterwards.

I've been on an audible.com binge. You may want to check out Masters of Doom, narrated by Wil Wheton.
Then there are the hugo award winners. Think of that as a vetting process for you, so it's a good list.
One author you may want to check out is Larry Correia. Both the Monster Hunter series and the Spellbound series are awesome.

nem-x impressed everyone with:
The Eisenhorn trilogy from warhammer 40k
- The Black Company by Glen Cook. I picked it up because it deviates from the standard fantasy formula of "one hero/group fight against the evil flavour of the day". I really enjoyed that series.
- Also, one of the best books I have read in the last ten years is A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge (and it's prequel A Deepness in the Sky, but the order doesn't really matter).
- Almost on the same level quality-wise is the Hyperion Cantos, a series of books by Dan Simmons.
- All the books of Neal Asher's Polity Universe.

David Farland's Runelord's series was pretty okay, though it got this DBZ-like power level thing going after a while; I only read up to Lair of Bones, so I do not know where it ultimately went.
Kristen Britain and Juliet Marillier are pretty decent but it has been so long since I read those books that I cannot comment on them beyond generally good feelings. Diana Paxson is a fascinating individual (she is my aunt by marriage; spent quite a bit of time with until recently) and I have heard good things about Brisingamen and Westria; I have not read these because I have not read much of anything in the last four years but they are on my list as I am fond of the Norse stuff and I know Diana's research is impeccable on the subject.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java the thoughts aquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
