Charles Stross: Accelerando
Spectacular. Near-singularity and during-singularity Earth (and beyond). Was waiting for a novel like this. Sort of a fictional companion to "The Singularity is Near."
Julian Barnes: Arthur and George
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and an English vicar in a detective novel based on real events. Interesting.
Umberto Eco: Foucault's Pendulum
Started this several times but will finish it now. Excellent so far.
Mark Z. Danielewski: House of Leaves
Very strange story-within-a-story. I like it so far, but it's definitely not for readers of conventional story lines.
China Mieville: Iron Council
China Mieville writes some of the most amazing fantasy I've ever read. This is spectacular stuff. He also has an amazing vocabulary, and I'm often looking up words; it's ripe for reading on the Kindle because of the dictionary feature, but I'm waiting at least for v2.0.
Richard K. Morgan: Market Forces
The near future, where corporations rule the world and knock off executives in automobile death matches. I prefer Morgan's other more science fictionish novels.
Adam Felber: Schrodinger's Ball: A Novel
Fun and quirky. Any novel that incorporates a dead physicist and a dead/non-dead character -- both of whom wander around as part of the plot -- peaks my interest.
William Faulkner: The Sound and the Fury
Bought this more than 30 years ago and finally reading it. Don't think I like it, classic or not.
Yes, quality definitely has to improve although these are CCD at least and not the noisy CMOS sensors.
I heard that some of the original megapixel modules were designed for medical use to view inside stomachs! Mmm mmm!

Now all they have to do is to get the pictures to not look like crap. If you don't improve the optics or internal processing of the pictures, what's the point of multi-megapixel sensors?
I'm afraid that these multi megapixel sensors are mostly designed as cash cows to sell expensive data plans for phones that only allow pictures to be mailed to get them off the camers. The manufacturers obviously don't give a damn if the pictures look decent.
