Lol...I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that...I always have like 3 books I'm readin at any given time!!!
I have stopped in the middle of Richard Dawkins's The Greatest Show On Earth and The God Delusion, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Jefferson Bass's Carved in Bone (about UT's body farm), and a Cristopher Hitchens book that I can't remember the title of. I've only finished four books in the last 12 months: World War Z, Slaughterhouse-Five, Anarchy Evolution, and now Under the Dome.

Really? I was gripped. Read the entire thing in 1 day of plane travel.
Just started the second part of Frances' Kamm's Ethics for Enemies, "Terrorism and Intending Evil". Interesting so far, however, it is hard to read it without hearing her own Yiddish drawl in my head.

Kamm's section on terrorism was quite interesting. She argues that if killing is morally permissible in war and civilian casualties are morally permissible then there is nothing about terrorism that is inherently morally impermissible.

Just started Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, I’ve literally just started it tonight - I bought it on a recommendation from a professor of mine.
I just finished Michael Lewis’ The Big Short…interesting insight from a former Wall St guy
