I just finished The Hidden Reality, a book about theoretical physics, string theory, the future of physics, etc. Was really good and not so over the top that it was a difficult read, although some of the theories were somewhat difficult to understand at first glance. Greene does a great job of making very difficult subjects easy to understand.

Oddly enough, I just saw, while I was reading this book, that he had 2 different mini series on Nova. Both were about string theory and quantum physics. The book takes those 2 series into further detail, but if reading a book about quantum physics isn't up your ally, the 2 Nova series would be a great replacement.

I'm reading the Unicorn Chronicles to my kids at night.

I'm listening to the Mass Effect books (1&2) right now.

Can anybody suggest a good space opera?

Honor Harrington was good for about 3 books until it got too political.

I just listened to Stark's War and I found it a little bland and slow.

Finished the entire series for The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.

It was really good, I thought the last book was rushed, though.

Now reading the Kane Chronicles.

Currently reading "The Iron Lady". A bio of Margaret Thatcher. Good book thus far.

I can't wait until school and work die down a little bit, still very hectic getting used to this new school and schedule.

I've got three books to read, first one up will be Catcher in the Rye, I never read it in High School. Better now then never.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John Le Carre.

Heard the movie was good, figured I'd check the book out.

everything's eventual. collection of short stories by Steven King.

This dude may get some backlash but he's a legit writer.

He's more than just a great horror story writer.

Wherever I Wind Up by R.A. Dickey was an awesome story. Flew through it because I was hooked.
