I am rereading Anthem by Ayn Rand.

 

[rwd1731]

I am reading "Death from the Skies!" by Philip Plant (an astronomer), a book that explains the science behind various astronomical end of the world scenarios (spoiler alert: not likely to be the result of a supernova, gamma-ray burst or black hole).

Because I have a long commute to work, I listen to books on CD, so I am currently listening to Erik Larson's "Dead Wake", the story of the sinking of the Lustania. Terrific story by a fantastic author.

[rwd1731]

Napoleon Bonaparte by Alan Schom. Read a lot about his battles but never read about the man before.

 

[milagros317]

State of Fear by Michael Crichton. Great so far.😀

 

[MrPeanut]

Through the Shadowlands, by Julie Rehmeyer. It's about a woman's struggle with 'chronic fatigue syndrome', which is something medical science didn't recognize as an illness. It sounds a bit 'out there', but the author is very intelligent (an MIT trained mathematician) and her journey to 'reason' her way out of this affliction, and/or find a rational way to relieve the symptoms (via double-blind controlled experiments she sets up herself) is extremely engaging.

 

[rwd1731]

Still working my way through Napoleon Bonaparte by Alan Schom. Been reading it off and on, so I'm a bit behind.
