Since you probably want some lighter reading, I'm going to rec either anthologies (because you get tidbit stories) or nerdy stuff.
Tart Noir by Stella Duffy and Lauren Henderson. --I just got it in the mail and the stories are just deliciously dark humored and a nice twist on the normal detective/noir novel.
The Physics of Christmas: From the Aerodynamics of Reindeer to the Thermodynamics of Turkey by Roger Highfield. --Fun engineering. Omg, so nerdy and fun.
Strange Things Sometimes Still Happen: Fairy Tales from Around the World by Angela Carter (Editor), Corinna Sargood (Illustrator) --Probably my favorite fairytale anthology ever, because it's very diverse and some of the stories are just so OUT THERE that it's fun. Particularly the one about a mother giving birth to a cooking pot daughter. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.
Also, if you see any of the comic Fables there, it is made of awesome and wonderful. Really. Snow White KICKS ASS.

P.S. I held back on reccing any sci-fi, because I would go off forever and a day on that.
