I read " Six Easy Pieces" But in truth physics really does elude me, Surely you're joking was however very
down to earth, Dick Feynman seems like a person who would have been good to know.

Started reading "Game of Thrones, Book 1 - Song of Ice and Fire". The writing is good, scene descriptions are good, however the author introduces 30 character names in approx. 38 pages. It's confusing. I feel a little lost, feeling like I should have already read a book before this one...
My reaction is "who is he?, who is this one? wait, who is..." etc., etc.,
I felt like I should be taking notes, , reading on...

If you want a taste of the brilliance, honesty and humor of the man, I would recommend, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out. I dip into it frequently, whenever I feel the need to be inspired or just need a lift.

Hitchhikers Guide- I read it when I was about 14 and don't remember a thing.

Along with the first GoT book. Not too hooked yet, but we'll see!

Currently reading "InfIdel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. My mom gave it to me after her and my dad's book club finished it.

Thank you for pointing that out DWill. I am reading from my nook, and it has "Great Expectations" as 800 pages long! I found another copy and it is actually 460 pages long. So I figure I actually read about 250 pages. Sure felt like 400. I think I can finish it now. I usually read a Dickens novel each December. This is the first time I have been disappointed with one of his novels.

I haven't read Great Expectations, but I can say that Dickens' last (incomplete) novel, The Mystery of Edmund Drood, is really quite good.

I'm currently reading Lee Child's short story "High Heat" on Kindle. Can't get enough of this guy's writing....

As is not uncommon for me, I am reading multiple books: "Innocence," the latest thriller from Dean Koontz; "I. Asimov," his memoir/autobiography, written shortly before his death; and "1776" by David McCulloch. This last is an audio book I listen do while I work out.

After the Thief Book
