As the time approaches to spend time at the “beach” reading, as opposed to spending time in the basement or living room reading, I give you my summer reading list:
Europe: A History by Norman Davies. Cause everyone should learn stuff, even in the summer. Plus it’s a huge book that will impress all the folks at the beach.
1632 by Eric Flint. Actually, I finished this already. It was okay. Not as good as I was hoping, but not horrible.
Some Honor Harrington by David Weber. I’ve read the first two
and I can’t wait to read more. The Short Victorious War
is next and no doubt it will quickly be followed by Field of Dishonor
. I just wish there was an omnibus edition. If the series doesn’t nose-dive and my money holds out I’ll get through the whole series.
Sunrise Alley by Catherine Asaro.
I also plan to re-read Wizard’s First Rule.
Yep, not a lot of deep thinking, but a lot of hard sci-fi, which I think counts as math and science.
“…a lot of hard sci-fi, which I think counts as math and science.”
It really only counts if you do proofs of their equations.
I hate proofs. Take all the rest of math I don’t like and it doesn’t add up to how much I hate proofs.
