With two $10 gift cards to Barnes and Nobles in hand I ventured out into to the store with wild shelves of untamed, unowned books and chose three likely novels.
Dust, by Elizabeth Bear
Farthing, by Jo Walton
Undertow, by Elizabeth Bear
This is my Elizabeth Bear excitement alarm going off. I was all set to get three Bear novels, the third being Carnival, when I decided that maaaaaybe I should support another author too. I've heard good things about Farthing so picked it up instead. Sorry, eBear.
I almost picked up a Heinlein, too, but didn't.
And, in conclusion, if anyone who reads this blog has not picked up anything by Elizabeth Bear...I can do no more to convince you (pssst! Go read Blood and Iron!)

If you like Bear I would recommend Carnival. I read that last year and I enjoyed it. It was definitely a change from typical SF for me.
I'm unfortunately in that boat...so Blood and Iron is the place to start, is it?
I am in the middle of Blood and Iron right now, and it is most enjoyable.
