Einstein: His Life and Universe

Author: Walter Isaacson
Format: Audiobook

Great! I really enjoyed reading this book. Mr. Isaacson does exactly as his title describes, including the important biographical elements as well as great explanations of Einstein's ideas in physics. This book makes me want to delve deeper into this world of curved space, quantum questioning, and the quest towards a unified field theory. Things I will take with me: think visually, think creatively, and challenge the norms.

Dark Tide I: Onslaught

Author: Michael A. Stackpole
Format: Print

Very good. What's really great are the characters, not only do we have the old favorites like Luke who busts out with the dual light sabers to kick some extragalactic amphistaff, but we have the Leia and Han's children who I would imagine will become more and more important as the series progresses. These compelling characters keep me reading, I already have Dark Tide II on my night stand and look forward to reading it.

Whiteout

Author: Ken Follett
Format: Audiobook

Since we share a last name I felt compelled to read some of Ken Follett's work. This book takes place during Christmas-time in snowy wheather so I read it during the appropriate season. It was okay, I guess I'm not to keen on mystery-thrillers, it really didn't pull me in.
