Dead Mountain.

So far this year:

The Yugo: The Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History by Jason Vuic

Clearly the author is not familiar with the Trabant, which showed conclusive proof that all the competent automotive engineers in Germany had been on the west side when the Berlin Wall came up. :P

Reading City at World End by Edmond Hamilton again.

[Sitting Duck]

With the recent release of the latest volume of the Girl Genius novelizations by Phil and Kaja Foglio, I decided to try rereading the series and came to a realization as to why I haven't done so for a long time. Truth be told, the Foglios aren't very good at prose. They have two problems, both stemming from how their preferred medium is comic books. The first is the long, drawn-out text walls for describing scenes and character appearances. To warp the old maxim, a picture gets converted into a thousand words. The other is the shift in character point of view, which can bounce around like a pin ball among several characters within a single scene. And since the dialogue is pretty much copy and pasted directly from the original comic books, there really isn't much point in picking up this lesser retelling other than some amusing footnotes and chapter headers.
