2. Ready Player One (Ernest Cline) - I liked it although it's kinda ridiculous and one-sided.
3. The Bloodline Feud (Charles Stross) - Actually part 1&2 of a series. Really need to continue, very good. I'd say this was not "oh I know what will happen next" which is kinda rare.
4. The Graveyard Book (Neil Gaiman) - It's ok, but not as good as I had hoped.
5. Coraline (Neil Gaiman) - It's a children's book, and very short, but I liked it a lot.
6. Accelerated C++ (Koening/Moo) - Not finished, I was under the impression it's "C++ for programmers well-versed in other languages" and for that it's a bit slow-starting, but not bad I guess
I really need to read more. :|
