The Game of Thrones books (finally!) and an autobiography of Alan Turing called The Enigma, which is taking forever to get through, but is very interesting nonetheless.

Alan Turing rocks! It's way past time for the British government to apologize, but better late than never.

If you're at all curious about Turing, I recommend "Alan Turing: The Enigma." (http://www.amazon.ca/Alan-Turing-Enigma-Andrew-Hodges/dp/0099116413/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252681070&sr=8-1)


It's the best bio I've found of him and seems to provide the basis for some of the other bios out there.

If you want a book specifically about Turing the man, rather than just his mathematical work Alan Turing: the enigma by Andrew Hodges is great.

Edit: See reviews here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alan-Turing-Enigma-Andrew-Hodges/dp/0099116413

The actual book that the movie was based on is actually pretty good. There is also Enigma: Battle for the Code that goes into much more detail about all the players involved in breaking the Enigma, not just Turing.
