Th Ultimatum by Karen Robards. Apparently first in a series but I highly doubt I will read the rest.

Imajica by Clive Barker but stopped halfway through. I think that's only the second time in 50 years that I've lost patience with a book and given up. The other was by Patricia Cornwell.
Now on Stephen King's Needful Things

I’m reading a book from a famous Italian psychiatrist about the new smartphone/social networks craze taking over. To make a long story short we are soon going to be a bunch of retarded.

So far so good
Edit: whoops, thought you quoted my book post about into Africa. Astrophysics for people in a hurry was quite interesting, nothing game changing if you've read a book by Neal Degrasse tyson before but still informative and funny. The title fits the book perfectly. |

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. There is a lot that I disagree with about Roosevelt’s politics and attitudes(although it is difficult to square the early 21th century world with the late 19th century generally accepted beliefs), the man was a pretty remarkable human being and an inspiration in many ways.

I just finished reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
A very thought-provoking and intense read. I highly recommend it |

Second book in the Sword of Truth series, a slow start but ultimately better than the first. I am not normally a fan of fantasy type novels.

City of endless night, a Pendergast series. It was good, but not great.

Hey Tom I think my favorite(s) are: “Cabinet of curiosities” and “Still life with Crows.” “Crimson Shore” was pretty good, “Two Graves” also, but the last two have been kind of - Meh. I am interested to see what happens with Constance Green returning Riverside Drive, si I’ll be buying the next one as soon as it’s out!
