Didn't think I would get three books in this month with how long it took me to finish A Feast For Crows and A Dance With Dragons but I just finished reading Sphere by Michael Crichton.
Sphere was a literal page-turner for me. It was just the right book I needed to get back into science fiction after so much fantasy. Never read Crichton before this but I have Rising Sun, Jurassic Park, Airframe, and Timeline on the shelf (I bought a bunch of his books at a library book sale), so this was a very positive foray into his work
