If I could only recommend one book for the rest of the year, it would be Old Man's War by John Scalzi - It's like Halo meets Starship Troopers (He probably has played Halo)

(It's at pretty much every major bookstore, too.)
It's the fastest I've ever read a book because it's so easy to, the writing is perfectly simple- no big words or whatever. Not that it's for retards or anything, it's just perfect.
There is plenty of action, scientific explanations of technologies, cool weapons, awesome fight scenes (and violence), great dialog, characters and events. It never slows down with politics or religion, either, just pure ass-kicking with an interesting story.
I read it in a week and I'd give it a 10/10. My dad read this book and loved it, and he's never read a novel in his life.
