I read a lot of sci-fi.  Scalzi's books are excellent; he's a great writer.  Another good, current author is Connie Willis-- start with the Doomsday Book to tune in to her time-travel series.  Her Blackout and All Clear are a nice blend of science fiction and WWII history.  

On the mystery side, I lost interest in Joe Pickett when the wife character started romanticizing about the outlaw guy who kept raptors.  I picked up a lot of Christie paperbacks in the free pile at a thrift store and have been reading them on occasion. I also like Tony Hillerman's series for some reason.

Some of you may like James Lee Burke, he writes crime novels that take place in Louisiana, the main character is named Dave Robicheaux. Dave does a little bass fishing BTW.  There is some seriously funny dialogue at times, it usually comes out of the mouth of Dave's sidekick, a guy named Cletus Purcell.

Neon Rain is the first book in the series.
