That Einstein book was a good insight into the man, as well as the science.
For what it’s worth, I do not have much time to “pleasure” read lately. Most of my reading is for my formation in the Catholic Permanent Diaconate Program here in the Archdiocese of Dubuque. Best one was on the early church fathers. I just finished a funny book (is in a weird Catholic way) called “What’s the Smoke For?” If you are Catholic you will immediately know what that refers to in regards to the Mass! All three I read this summer were for my summer diaconate formation assignment.
I hope to read for pleasure again sometime this summer! Good suggestions on here!

I started keeping track of what I've read this year, entering the data into a spreadsheet. So far, I've read 55 books, for a total of just over 17, 000 pages, averaging 89 pages/day. I confess, it's mostly science fiction.
55 books so far this year! Incredible!
What was/were your favorites?

Not the news.
I gave up several years ago with the newspaper and television. Won't listen to any radio either. When I quit drugs, smoking and drinking over two decades ago I understood I had opened up options for cleaning out my life by removing unwanted garbage. Let them eat cake otherwise.Wow, no kidding. Esp. anything political!
Wow, you guys are nerds <smile>

I am currently reading Catalog of Shipwrecked Books. So far, Christopher Columbus is shaping to be a complete nut-case.
I got about 50 pages into Horizon a few weeks back, but I was getting sick again and it was -- frankly -- too depressing . I'll give it another try when I am off pain management meds. If I am still in the mood for it after Hernando Columbus's bibliomania, I will dig into the William Butcher translation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
