Josh’s comments from the code{4}lib group.

I'm willing. I spend way too much time on Goodreads already.

You're clearly a bigger Doctorow fan than I am. I could represent the anti-Doctorow faction.

Good recommendations. 2 & 3 I've read but heartily endorse, as I want to re-read both. Fair warning, Jonathan Strange is a bit on the long side. Also they recently announced they're making a BBC series out of it, so I'd say we might want to read it a bit later on, closer to that airing. Old Man's War is a great intro to Scalzi, if you're not familiar with him. That would be my vote from among that batch.

Doctorow is a dislike for me. I'd take that month off :)

Two other nominees:

1. The Remains of the Day. My wife insists it's both awesome and a valuable companion to Downton Abbey viewing, for those into that. I'd like to read it soon, either way.
2. Microserfs. Another I'd like to re-read. An outstanding fictional look into the life of tech company workers.
