Read "The Twelve" which is the sequel to "The Passage."

If you've read "The Passage" you know what to expect, as the book is more of the same post-apocalyptic vampire fiction. Really enjoyable, quick read, though Cronin's prose gets strained at times as he attempts to be "literary." It's still much better than the massive amounts of shit that has flooded this genre over the last 5 years or so.

Just started "Homeland," which is the sequel to Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother."

This is technically YA fiction, but it's pretty damned pertinent and timely. Set a few years past little brother, deals with an NSA style data dump and the protagonists difficult decision whether to go public with it or not. I'm only fifty pages in, and all the action has been set in the Burning Man Festival so far, which is pretty cool.
