 What to read?

As I've previously mentioned, I have a voracious appetite for books and regularly have 3-4 in progress. Last night I was chatting with my wife about a recommendation for her book club. We decided upon a lesser known, but excellent author who has written two books in the SF genre that are very unique. The author is Maria Doria Russel who has written The Sparrow and the sequel Children of God. Maria takes the classic SF plot of first contact and turns it completely on its head. Two of the best stories I have ever read.

ps - Considered and discarded were a couple of other favorites (I was really torn about passing up American Gods, it's fantastic):

Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere
Neil Gaiman - American Gods
Robert A. Heinlein - Job A Comedy of Justice
