Finished Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson a week ago. I only knew it was out because he gave a rare interview for it on Lex Fridman's podcast. Interesting to watch. In it Stephenson said that it's critical not to lose suspension of disbelief. Well, he lost me REALLY early in this one. But Stephenson's written some of my favorite books, and often seems to be satirizing the genre he is writing in or is just completely tongue in cheek. So I took it in that vein and really enjoyed it for about half the book. Then it loses steam and flames out in a weak half hearted typical Stephenson ending. Mostly I enjoyed it, but it's not his best.
After than I re-did Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut. It was mostly Audible on airplanes and only took a couple of days. Great book. Vonnegut was a hell of a writer with a great sense of irony. This might be his most cynical take on the Human species.
Currently about half way into All the Pretty Horses (re-read). Wow, Cormac can WRITE like nobody else I can think of. This is my second reading of it, and after many years I'm enjoying it more so than the first time through. Part of it is that I'm seeing that he made a lot of references in No Country to what he wrote in All the Pretty Horses. In a lot of ways No Country is a follow up to All the Pretty Horses, but in an America that has changed drastically, one of the themes of No Country. John Grady Cole is one of the best characters ever written.

Cryptonomicon
Awesome book, it may take a few reads/listens to really understand it. It took me a few times to realize just how funny it is. Stephenson has been way ahead of the curve on so many things, in Cryptonomicon it's crypto currency; but really that's just a small part of the book.

The Shattered Sea Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. About to start book 3. I didn’t read it for years because the YA label scared me, but it’s really entertaining.
