I am trying to read too many things right now...
I've been reading Asimov's Foundation series (The Foundation Trilogy) for months now. It's so great, but I barely have time to really read it. It's set well into the future when we have a Galactic Empire, but one that is on the brink of destruction according to the world's greatest psychohistorian. The whole series jumps ahead into the future, but each section is about one obstacle that the Foundation must tackle (named Seldon Crises, after Hari Seldon, the psychohistorian). The obstacles are all social and political in nature, and must be tackled so that the Foundation can survive the crumbling Empire in peace. The solutions are always won via clever thinking, and it's a great departure from the stereotypical space war scenario that much of science fiction is based on.
Other than that, it's just technical books on .NET, AJAX, and JavaScript... woooo
