Hey everyone...just sitting down reading..and I was curious as to what everyone else is reading.....so much like "Random Song" start posting:

The Lion's Game - Nelson DeMille (creepy just how similar it is to 9/11 - even though it was published a year prior....amazing author).

Down side to The Collapsing Universe, is that Black holes don't "funnel" out on the other side. Plus I have real issues with how he handles singularity.

A good book to pick up:
The Elegant Universe, by Greene...

I like Greene a lot...no BS.

I just finished two books: "Dune: The Machine Crusade" and "Dune: The Battle of Corrin"; the last two novels in "The Butlerian Jihad" trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. They are part of a six novel "pre-quil" to Frank Herbert's epic "Dune" series. If you're a Dune enthusiast, then you have to read these books...and, yes, the writing/plot compares favorably with Frank's! The six books lay the groundwork for the Dune series, explaining the origin of the Bene Gesserit, Guild, Mentats and House rivalries.

SOT, I'm also re-reading "The Collapsing Universe" by Isaac Asimov...a great primer for celestial mechanics!

"Chandrasiker's Limit", anyone?
