Just finished The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek, by Rhett McLaughlin & Link Neal.

Next up is either Razzmatazz by Christopher Moore or Grim Reaper by Steve Altern. I haven't decided which I'm in the mood for yet.

GOD - AN ANATOMY by Francesca Stavrakopoulou

A lengthy exploration of the evolution of what we think of as the Christian God, from but one among a pantheon, and from a very corporeal being into the very noncorporeal entity worshipped today.

I love that her last name translates as "child of the Cross."

This is a worthwhile watch.

Now about halfway through BLACK SUN by Owen Matthews, a murder mystery novel set in the real-world secret city of Arzamas (now Sarov) in Russia in October 1961. The scientists who lived there designed, built, and tested what is known as the Tsar Bomb, the most powerful thermonuclear device ever detonated (50 - 58 megatons).

It's been a good read so far. And it sort of makes me want to read DARK SUN by Richard Rhodes which covers the history of how the hydrogen bomb was developed.

Just started the classic All Quiet On The Western Front, and I can immediately see why Hitler banned it before starting WWII.
