Finished Liars and Saints. It was alright. It was her first novel, so I guess it is a bit excusable. The ending was a bit ehhh, but with how the book was shaped and what it was about, I guess I shouldn't have expected much. Although I didn't.

I'm half way through The Road.
Ohhhhhhhh my god this book is great.

I'm currently slowly going back and forth between The Origin of Species by Chucky Darwin, and The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel. It's an interesting combination. You can guess which one I'm enjoying more.

Sadly I can't say I've read the whole thing, but the parts I have read... OoS is amazing. So... easy to read, especially considering today's scientific writing.

Reading the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

The Road...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I think it could basically have dethroned The Catcher in the Rye and Candide as my favourite book.

Reading the "Feynman Lectures in Physics" and "An Introduction to Mechanics" :)

Forgot to post that I've moved onto the next book in the Darkness series, Rulers of the Darkness.

I should add that to understand the last two books/series that I mentioned (and put everything into perspective), I'm reading Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions and Vector Calculus.

Shadow Out of Time by Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

If you enjoy good hardcore Science Fiction, I'd highly recomend this short little novella, or From the Mountains of Madness. Both are really good, and really under rated stories.

I finished reading a fictional Holocaust story called Sarah's Key a few days ago. It was an amazing book; I couldn't put it down.

From there, I made an attempt to read Nightlight: A Twilight parody. Though I found it highly amusing, I quickly grew tired of it. Since I read 27 pages of the actual book, I decided to read just a little more of the parody, to make a point or something, and I ended up reading to about page 33 (the end of the closest chapter).

Now I'm looking at an Iris Johansen book.

Rereading and reanalyzing Frankenstein in my spare time for learning purposes.

Reading Ship of Magic by Robbin Hobb. First book of the Liveship Trilogy, which are events that happen somewhere else (but in the same world) and between the events my two favorite series by Robin Hobb. Anyways, got the trilogy for my birthday Friday.
