LAST EDITED ON Jun-18-13 AT 00:51 AM (EDT)
 
I'm mostly on a nonfiction bender right now (currently on top of the stack: Richard Rhodes's classic The Making of the Atomic Bomb), but a quick glance at my stuff-in-the-last-couple-three-years shelf turns up The Automatic Detective by A. Lee Martinez (basically just what it says on the tin) and Charles Stross's Saturn's Children (which I gather has recently acquired a sequel I have not seen). Both are somewhat wacky stories whose protagonists are robots and... that's about where the similarities end. :)

You want cheap, there are a million-zillion Kindle compilations of Edgar Rice Burroughs out there, as long as you can cope with some pretty poor curation.
