Working my way through Einstein by Walter Isaacson. Fascinating portrait of the man and his science. I can barely get my mind around some of the concepts, but the story of the man's life is freaking fascinating.

I have a lot of physics books if you get bored, PH.

I started Sons and Lovers by D.H. b/c I forgot to bring The Rainbow with me to San Antonio. Both on the Top 100 list.
