bunrabMurder Among the Owls - Bill Crider. Latest in his Sheriff Dan Rhodes series. OK, not spectacular. I could guess the killer pretty easily, but it was still interesting watching the process.
Conservatize Me! - John Moe. An NPR talk show host decides to see if there's anything to the neo-con point of view by immersing himself in its icons and idols. Some very funny bits, some very thoughtful ones. He discovers that he could actually think well of Richard Nixon, certainly compared to what came later, but that no one, not even the most thoughtful pundits, can convince him the Iraq war is necessary; he discovers that taken as individuals, most conservatives are nice people, although there are conservative radio hosts who are still *ssh*les. And there's no way whatsoever that he can convince himself that the Family Research Council aren't dangerous wingnuts.
I already mentioned that I re-read the Liaden series; I re-read I Dare, the last book in the series, yet again, 'cause damn, I love a good space opera/romance/military adventure/fantasy/hero accountant/cat story!!
I have been "talking" the ears off my motorcycle list about music theory, specifically even-tempering and the mathematics of different keys of music. (Someone was silly enough to *ask* me to explain a remark about Bach.) Be glad you are not being subjected to that.
