Finished What If? by Randall Munroe.

Highly recommended for people who like science, and fun.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm always reading one non-fiction book and one fiction book. It's amazing how often I end up reading similar ones at the same time. Right now I'm reading Andy Weir's The Martian, and Claire Nelson's memoir Things I Learned from Falling. Both involve a person stuck alone, trying to survive by solving practical problems in an inhospitable desert environment.

I had previously talked about reading Charlotte McConaghy's Wild Dark Shore, and can now report that it's an excellent book, highly recommend.
