Stephen Hawkings books like "A brief history of time"

On my desk right now I'm reading that, Descartes's Meditations, and A Concise Handbook of Psyhoactive Herbs by Marcello Spinella.

Ahh, higher education, lol.

Well, the second two. I'm not reading Hawking for class. I don't have physics this semester.

Hawking can suck a nut. Anyways, I'd check out a Briefer History in Time, it's the revised addition after he changed his mind about some of his theories in his first book.

If you're looking for a good series check out the 'Wheel of Time' series by Robert Jordan.

There's a film coming out soon

Angels and Demons was great.
But Tom Hanks does not fit the main character in my eye.
He sounds so sexy in the book, but Tom Hanks just ruined it, rofl.

Anyway, try:

~The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix

It's about these people (the Abhorsen) who use bells to bring people's souls back from the dead, depending how many gates the soul has crossed.
They're kind of like necromancers, just alot cooler.
The bells also send people to death, and can control the people they bring back.
It really is quite interesting.
I randomly bought it cause I got the book set for 10 bucks, and it was worth it.
Give it a shot.

I'm also reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" right now.
Holy crap am I confused. There's like 1000 characters in the book.
Thank goodness for wiki when I get confused.
Good book so far though, and the translation is really really good.
My fiance looked at the original and compared it to my book, and it's pretty much exact.
