Every once in a while it is nice to just get a book/author recommendation and go ahead and read it right away instead of filing it into my internal "to read someday" list (which is always growing). So my uncle recommended the books of Lois McMaster Bujold and I picked up Falling Free to give her a shot. Overall I enjoyed it - maybe partially because I hadn't read a sci-fi book in awhile. And like most good sci-fi it tells a story about relevant topics (in this case the rights of a subjugated group and standing up to make a difference within an impersonal corporation). Maybe if I get a chance I'll read the next book in the series. B+
