Around 20% into The Years of Rice and Salt, by Kim Stanley Robinson. It took a good long while to get into, but I've started to really enjoy it. - This is on sale for $2!

Reamde, by Neal Stephenson. Few hundred pages into it. Very good.

Listening to Ilium, by Dan Simmons. Loved some of his other work (i.e. Hyperion Cantos, The Terror, Carrion Comfort). This one also took a while to get into, but really enjoying it.

This is an amazing contest! This subreddit astounds me everyday!

I'd love to win this Kindle, I'm heading on a big vacation in August (China, S.Korea and Japan) for 30 days and I don't know how I'll survive without books to pass the time! Travel time I mean, not touristy time.

A book I'd love is The Years of Rice and Salt

Fulfilled: Kim Stanley Robinson (plus two or three more). And, to be more directly Marxist, his thesis advisor Fredric Jameson.
