What have you just READ?

[paddyohale]

Working my way through a book by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw (Why Does E=mc²?), which explains the fundamentals of special relativity and leads up to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula in a way that people with only basic maths can understand and follow.

Brian Cox = Legend.

Pad.

Brian Cox = Legend.

This. Might have to give that book the once over Pad, thanks - I loved the Solar System series he presented, can't wait for the Universe one that they're filming ^_^


Just finished the Thrawn trilogy from the Star Wars expanded universe, something I've wanted to read for ages ^_^ Thrawn was a very smart character, very much enjoyed it.

Moved back onto a Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin now - started the 4th book (A Feast for Crows), with the hope to finishing it before the 5th comes out in September. I keep forgetting how grisly George gets with his characters - I'm starting to get the impression everytime he gets a mental block he clears it by bumping off another one.

Spook Country - William Gibson.

[13th Nightmare]

Started on Shadows over Baker Street.

A collection of short stories involving Sherlock Homles within the world created by H.P. Lovecraft. It's quite good so far.

Terry Pratchett THUD!

Y: The Last Man, all 60 issues. Brilliant story. highly recommended. Vertigo deliver yet another great comic book.

I just finished Wilt by Tom Sharpe.

Hillarious, but alittle risque for younger readers.

Short plot, no real spoilers:

Henry wilt is a college lecturer bored with life and whilst walking the dog plans to murder his wife. Awesomeness ensues.

Starting to read the next in the Wilt series: The Wilt Alternative.

[Dog of War]

The Pale Horseman

I really enjoyed it, started reading yesterday and finished today.

Started reading Dune, I'm disgusted with myself for putting it off for so long.

Terry Pratchett THUD!

I just finished his newest one, 'I shall wear midnight'. It's the latest Tiffany Aching one.

Now back into the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan...only on the second one but really liking them!
