I'm checking my spreadsheet. I've finished Structures, or Why Things Don't Fall Down, A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky, Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith, What's the Matter With Kansas?, and V for Vendetta (all of which I have you listed as recommending or co-recommending). I've read the Dark Materials series already, although I'm adding The Authoritarians to the spreadsheet. I've been quite happy with the recs; I've developed a substantial fondness for Vinge (just read his most recent earlier this month), I unsurprisingly loved V for Vendetta, and Structures was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

I've currently got Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid home from the library, although I haven't started it yet. Other than that, I've still got about a dozen recs from you on the "To Read" side of the spreadsheet.
