I am reading What The Night Knows. It is pretty slow right now. I am going to head to the used bookstore and pick me up some things by Harlan Coben, David Baldacci, and Brad Thor. I blaze through those.

If y'all like murder mysteries, check out Jefferson Bass. These are co-written by Dr Bass (think body farm). The main character is a UT prof and all the books are set in East TN.

I started reading a Jefferson Bass book, maybe the first one, that I got for free on my Nook. It's really good so far.

I'm currently reading Under the Dome by Stephen King. One-hundred or so pages in and it's getting good.

Does anyone else have a problem immediately starting to get tired once you start reading?

It's great! I'm a slow reader so I'm only about 285 pages in so far. The only thing that stops me from reading it is falling asleep.

I finished it about a month ago. It was really good. Obviously there are many twists but not the usual amount for a King novel. Also read Under the Dome if you havent already.

This may make me sound pretty desperate for a reader but I honestly enjoyed the Hunger Games Trilogy. I am hoping the ole man card does get revoked but please before you judge give it a read. It seems like she is a left leaning writer but politics aside it was a good read.

Just finished A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking. It was just as ridiculous as A Brief History of Time.

Do explain, please. More of a philosophy guy rather than a theory guy?

I enjoy reading about theoretical physics, it is absolutely fascinating; however, every theoretical physicist will admit that there are plenty of gaps and holes in both the Theory of Relativity and in Quantum Theory, and that the two theories are inconsistent with each other (even Hawking says this much). Hawking sees these inconsistencies, yet he fervently maintains that the ultimate answer and the Theory of Everything must lie within one of them. He also writes in a very 'religious manner' and uses emotive influence to stand in as premises to accept what he is trying to sell.
