Finished What If? by Randall Munroe.

Highly recommended for people who like science, and fun.

I am reading The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie, booked 3 in The First Law series. I'm maybe 40% through. Definitely liked the first two better, and book two was fantastic, but it's 3 of 3 here, so I need to see how it concludes.

Before this series was The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy, and after I'm thinking about The Expanse. I'm mainly fantasy, then sci-fi, then some Blake Crouch for when I need a book to fly by.

Heh, that's a good combo, I am similar, but with some Crime/Mystery in place of Blake Crouch.

The Expanse won't disappoint. It's a massive space opera but it's written so tightly that it reads more like a fast paced adventure. You'll hardly notice going through all nine of the main books in the series.
