Just finished Stormfront by John Sandford, his latest (I think) of the Virgil Flowers series. The funniest one yet.

Also, in the middle of listening to The Circle by Dave Eggers. Simultaneously hysterically funny, probably prophetic, and downright scary. It gets a bit tedious - I'm about halfway through - but it is a fun read. Oh, maybe it's also biting satire. A little of everything. Really takes some major swipes at social media and Google-like companies.
