The Broken Window - Jeffrey Deaver
(Somebody remind me not to read mysteries that touch on my own fears regarding identity theft, EZPass being evil, and monitoring of retail behavior.) B is for Beer - Tom Robbins (just started this one, but I'm already hooked.)

What I will be reading as of tomorrow afternoon. I actually had to tell the library to order this book. They have the other 9 in the series, but seem to have missed this one. They moved pretty fast, since I think I put the request in less than 2 weeks ago.
The Foreigner series is one of the best SF series when it comes to portraying alien psychology. Sure, a lot is cribbed from feudal Japan and possibly even social insects, but Cherryh really manages to project a real sense of 'otherness' onto her aliens. Quote:
