Anon is looking for good, entertaining science fiction or fantasy novels to read, preferably stuff that's readily available on p2p. Anon hates utopian societies, shitty overused biotech based aliens and such. Recent (tho not all-time) favorites include Path of the Fury, Dresden Files, Spin State. Have read most of the classic stuff. Fire away.

Spin State was good, true. There's a sequel now, but haven't read it yet, and it's not yet available for stealing afaik. It's a pity you don't like utopian societies, the Polity books by Neal Asher and the Culture books by Iain Banks are fukken great, imho.
Maybe try some John Scalzi (Old Man's War + 2 sequels / The Android's Dream) or Richard Morgan (all of it). Charles Stross has some good stuff too, including funny "contemporary" fantasy (Atrocity Archives).
Also, Vorkosigan saga by Bujold / stuff by Peter Hamilton, if you haven't yet. Try some Alastair Reynolds too, although I haven't yet read more than Chasm City, I liked it.
On the subject of urban fantasy (Dresden-esque) there sadly isn't much really good stuff, most of it is more along the lines of romance-y chick-lit. Maybe try the "Joe Pitt" novels by Charlie Huston, they don't fall into the aforementioned category.
