The Dark Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. (It's about super ninja in a fantasy setting who reminds me of Remo Williams: the Destroyer somehow). It's one of those sci-fi bookclub omibus things that I found at Half Price Books, used.

Just finished The Count of Monte Cristo for the first time and To Kill a Mockingbird for the third. Mockingbird is always a treat to read. I love "Scout", her way of talking and how she relates the story with a shot of humor as an adult. Count was a very easy read, though I see why so much of the story is streamlined for movies (and the book is streamlined quite a bit from the complete story). I enjoyed it quite a bit, though the ending in the James Caviezel movie was more...fulfilling and heroic.

I had the same reaction to reading The Count of Monte Cristo, Ryan. Good book though. Just finished reading The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. Very much not my kind of thing and exactly in my wheelhouse, odd combination but I really enjoyed it. Debating whether to read the second book in the series next or go on to The Wall; Rome's Greatest Frontier by Alistair Moffat, a history book about Hadrian's wall.

Okay, technically it's editing, but I didn't see a thread for that!

Just finished THE GRAND DESIGN by Stephen Hawking. Written for the lay-man, gives a brief overview of our current understanding of how the forces of the universe work.
I now *finally* understand what is going on with the famous "Twin Slit" experiment! Not that I can explain it to anyone (I tried)...
Highly recommended.

Having just finished my semi-annual foray into "On the Beach" by Nevil Shute, I began my equally frequent rereading of "City at World's End" by Edmond Hamilton.Also, approaching the end of my "lunchtime book", "A World Lit Only by Fire" by William Manchester.
