Ancillary Justice: started slowly but really grew on me. Lots of very interesting ideas and one of the darkest overall feel to a book I've read in a long time.
The Goldfinch: I think it may be a masterpiece. Took her 10 years and I'm glad she didn't rush it. Every sentence is word perfect yet the pace is relentless for 800-odd pages. A triumph - now I want to go to Den Haag to see the damn thing for real.
