What are you reading this week?

Another one.....

 

In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.

 

-- Carl Sagan, 1987 CSICOP keynote address

 

I can't remember the last time it happened in science

You spend a lot of time on your knees?

I'm reading catch up with last month's books. Mostly DC these days.

 

Marvel for cancelling Marvel Knights Four.

 

to Marvel for Brubaker joining Uncanny X-Men.

Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson...don't usually read fantasy, but this series is like reading the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire mixed with Glenn Cook's The Black Company novels...Awesome.

 

Hook...Sagan is one of my all time favorite's...I love watching that old Cosmos series he did and another good book of his - Broca's Brain. His metaphor's and overall writing style are very impressive for anyone, let alone a mere physicist.

I agree. But at the risk of offending some good folks on the boards, I'm not going to get any further into a religion vs science debate on the boards.....not the place.

Fear Agent, Some Bronze Age HOS & Phantom Strangers I just bought, Bone - The Complete Volume, The artist's way : a spiritual path to higher creativity (my whole family is trying to get me to start painting again), and re-reading Princess of Mars (mostly just staring at the Frazetta covers and wishing I could paint like that).

The artist's way : a spiritual path to higher creativity

 

Another great book. I have a copy sitting right next to my desk.

Red Star: The Battle for Kar Dathra's Gate

[Hobgoblin]

Re-reading X-Men issues from the 90's. As well as Eragon.

[Davenport]

I was jonesing for something to read and just grabbed an older book. One of those 6-books-for-a-dime-if-you-rejoin SF bookclub books, sitting there for years...

 

Great read. A very light summer popcorn-type book, hard to put down. A first person look at having a mutant-type power...to teleport instantly somewhere else...

 

"Jumper" by Steven Gould 1991. Opening sentence: "The first time was like this."

 

 

Then looking online I see it took ten years, but he did write a sequel. Great! I won't have to wait...

 

[johnenock]

Two more great books...yeah, I read a lot.

[Red Hook]

Have you ever read the Alfred Bester classic..."The Stars My Destination"? Gully Foyle is the main character who finds he can "jaunt" out of the wreckage of a space ship. Good stuff.

How about The Demolished Man(think 's Minority Report but published earlier...1951 or so) or try some great short stories...Fondly Farenheit to name one off the top of my head and an all-time favorite).
