What I want to read: Amazon.com Wishlist.
Anything by Lois McMaster Bujold: The Curse of Chalion, Cordelia’s Honor, among many others. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind by Hayao Miyazaki. The Thieves & Kings series by Mark Oakley.
Counting Heads by David Marusek, an excellent book in the same vein as William Gibson and Neal Stepehnson.
The roadside Geology series are also an excellent resource, along with specific texts—Geology of the North Cascades—where roads are thankfully limited.
