Pastwatch The Redemption of Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott Card [book]
This began interestingly but lost steam when the characters seemed very unrealistic to me. Maybe if the book had illustrated how insanely bad the present-day world was that this group of people were totally at ease with destroying it (and themselves) and rewriting history.

The Bridge by Iain Banks [book]
I always prefer Banks when he has the M. in his name. That's a personal preference.

This non M. book was a baby boomer coma dream. The steampunky bridge bits appealed to me, but not the over all composition. (finished: April 12, 2006)
