The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell, reviewed by UK Steve.
"one of the most depressing books I have ever read."
Eifelheim, by Michael Flynn, reviewed by Darwin Catholic.
"a very, very good book."
Children of Men, by P.D. James, reviewed by Cantanima.
"It's a fun little novel."
"How Christian is Harry Potter?" Sun and Shield explores the question. He includes a link to a Christian interpretation, and quotes Christopher Hitchens, who (of course) argues for its atheism. Rowling herself has referred to Christian symbolism in the book, but then again, she's only the author.

I love Russell's two books - a fantastic sci-fi treatment of theodicy, but definitely depressing at times, especially if you don't read the "sequel", Children of God, which really is volume 2, written together with The Sparrow.
I look forward to your thoughts on Bionic Woman eventually. Mine are already at http://exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com/2007/09/5000000002-woman.html
