Just ordered "The Three Body Problem" by Cixin Liu. I've heard it's really good so am pretty excited.
What are you reading?

Patricia Cornwell and her Forensic Pathologist series has been excellent, in a not so coppish cop book way. She just started a new series and the first book was goo.
Sorry that I forget names etc.
Reading No Man's Land by Baldacci, another in a series by an author with several great series.
The Atlee Pine and Amos Decker, plus the Camel Club (series) are all worth a read.Not even a smile? What's your problem!

Most people know I'm more on the other side of the "reading" thing, so I actually don't even have anything, which is probably ironic. It's no longer any secret, so if someone here wants the first novel in my series PM me and I'll get you one you don't have to pay for - least I can do.
Meanwhile, I don't even "read" much. The most I can do is "listen" as I'm going to sleep - and I love it.
The Royal Institution, the science foundation in London that is near 200 years old, has a public lecture series on the net. These public lectures have been going in the SAME LECTURE ROOM since Fereday dazzled his audience with electricity and magnets.
This is a great example, but you can just hit the RI channel and choose from about 100. I marvel at the power of the net. From my hut in the middle of the steamy south, I can listen to 6 years worth of lectures given in the most hallowed halls of science. That is almost jaw-dropping in the power of it. I'm a nobody, and yet I've been able to "sit" in that lecture hall for years, amazing.
They're going through the trial and the lawyers' questioning. It's an interesting mix of genres put together in a non-fiction book where the truth is just as scary as fiction!

James Dodson's Ben Hogan: An American Life was a wonderful biography
Water Cronkite's A Reporter's Life was a terrific autobiography.
Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, Born To Run, was enjoyable.The GUB Resource Library: Links to: Stats, Blogs, Brackets, & More. . .

Mike Tyson comes to mind. Wonder if he has one?
