In the last week or two I have read:
The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi, an entertaining but forgettable space military sci-fi book.

Prospero's Daughter by Elizabeth Nunez, based on The Tempest and pretty solid all around.

In a Dark Wood by Marina Warner. I had never heard of the author or this novel before I found it in a used bookstore. I enjoyed the author's prose style considerably. There was not much actual plot in this book, but it was extremely interesting nonetheless. It is concerned with two brothers: one the editor of a prominent journal that is about to be disgraced for receiving funding from the CIA, the other a priest who is obsessed with the journal of a Jesuit who went as a missionary to China.
