I finished The Investigation and also read Eileen. (I'd also read Girl Gone just to see what all the hype was about.) Next is 84 Charing Cross Road.

Since I last posted, I read:

The Man in the High Castle (interesting, typical of the author's writing style)
Astrophysics for People in a Hurry (not worth it, unless you've never read anything...

I'm slowly working though Atonement. It's written so differently from the last book I read (The Revenant - I loved the book but really did not like the movie) that it was tough to get into it.

I'm reading "The Passage." A friend recommended it to me. I think it could have been really good, but lacks some character development. I'm just working through to the end now...

One of my kids suggested I Am Number Four, and others chimed in that it was good. I'd heard they were making a movie, so I figured I'd check it out. It was just some young adult drivel.

Next up:...

Finished Angels and Demons, and now reading The Da Vinchi Code. I wish I'd left a nice time gap between the two, because back to back it's like deja vu. Oh well, I'll change it up before I read any...

Angels and Demons. The "science" is horrendous, but it's a page turner.

Not as much as Neuromancer. And I thought the ending was pretty terrible.

Just finished The Martian. Quite good. I had heard it was overly technical, but I didn't think so at all.

Just finished Count Zero by William Gibson. Not sure what's next. Probably The Martian or Seveneves.

Finally finished On Such a Full Sea. I did not like it. Not that it was bad, it just didn't capture me at all, and I didn't like the narration method.

Read Orange is the New Black over the last...

Finished The Circle and Physics and Philosophy.

Now reading On Such a Full Sea and Galileo's Dialogues. Planning on Seveneves next, if I can find a copy.

Finished Can't we Talk About Something More Pleasant, and I have to say, I would have rather read something more pleasant.

Currently reading Physics and Philosophy (by Heisenberg) while at work,...

Finished Unbroken. Powerful, but I wouldn't say I really liked it. Reading Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant.

Absolute Zero was not written to my tastes, so I'm putting it aside. On to Unbroken.

I picked up Lock In the other day because I wanted something light and fluffy, and my school library had a copy on hand. I've been quite sucked in, and will probably finish it tomorrow. Also working...

I read Neverwhere last week while on vacation. It was good, but not my kind of book. Now I'm reading No Country For Old Men.

Currently finishing up Dust, which is the third book in the Wool trilogy. Planning on Neverwhere next.

I was reading "When the River's Run Dry," but couldn't make it past the first third. It's...

Maybe it's just me, but I have a feeling that discussion should probably be in a different thread.

Really enjoying Wool. Characters are kind of meh, but I'm curious to learn what is going on in...

Looked over my Want to Read list on Goodreads and decided to give Wool a go.

Just finished Americanah and didn't like it as much as I did initially. Good book, just didn't have the depth or development I'd been expecting.

Not sure what's next...

Just finished Seven Elements That Changed The World. I do not recommend it.

Currently reading Americanah, and I am hooked.

Just finished All the Pretty Horses. It took me a while to get used to the writing style, but I really liked it once I got into it.

Ones that stand out since I last posted:

Snow Crash (re-read it, love it)
Life of Pi
ReamDe (was very unimpressed, given that I really like the author)
Ready Player One
Point of Impact
Brave...

Finished First Blood, but didn't bring my copy of V for Vendetta with me on vacation. So I read Shovel Ready (got it on Overdrive from the library) because it popped up as similar to something or...
