Unwind by Neal Schusterman

I'm not going to say too much about this book, in case some of my book club members tumble upon this post before July 15. It is really good, you should read it. Here is the blurb from B&N:
"

In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them

Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family's strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until theireighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed -- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.

In Unwind, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman challenges readers' ideas about life -- not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive."

Read it.

Plague Ship by Clive Cussler and Jack DuBrul

For those of you who have never tried Clive Cussler, you really don't know what you are missing. His books are adventure from beginning to end. They normally start out with something happening far in the past. In this book, a German pilot finds the Ark (yes, Noah's Ark) in the Arctic Circle during WWII. Then you fast-forward to a little into the future from today. Bad guys are always trying to do something horrible to affect the earth. In this case, there is a group called Responsivists who thinks that the human race is breeding itself into extinction. So, to join to cult-like group, you must get a vasectomy or tubal litigation.

At this point, the Oregon, a ship from many of Cussler's previous books, comes across a cruise ship on which everyone has been killed horribly by a mysterious disease (yes, I know, pretty far-fetched). There turns out to be one survivor, so they then go about figuring out what happened. Overall, an excellent book as long as you have a good "willing suspension of disbelief". Adventure from beginning to end.
