    It's approachable and does a very good job of explaining the fundamentals of quantum theory and how it relates to Einsteins theory of relativity.
    Thanks, Chad. I put it on my (very) long list of books I need to read.

    New Kindle book: A Dream of Red Mansion by Cao Xuegin. I read the first 56 chapters earlier this year (that version was titled Dream of the Red Chamber), but I finally got the remaining 64 chapters not available in the public domain. That means no new Kindle books for a long, long while.

    Dream of Red Mansions - enjoy! It's one of the Great Books....I read it when pregnant with my first child, thinking that I might never have time to read something that long again. There's nothing else like it...

    I have enjoyed it a lot so far, which is amazing to me since I wouldn't have attempted it years ago. With age has come more of an adventurous spirit for books out of my comfort zone, I guess.

    I've been a "classics" binge lately. Been reading The Invisible Man and Brave New World.

    Is it okay to post recommendations and such? I ask because I wanted to read some books about feminism. It may sound silly (especially coming from a guy) but I just want to educate myself further on topic.
    Imagine being proud to have negative traits. I can’t relate.

    DC: Justice League, The Flash, Justice League Dark, Superman, Action Comics, Green Arrow, Justice League Odyssey, The Terrifics, Teen Titans, Titans, Brimstone, Female Furies, Damage, Heroes In Crisis

    Marvel: The Punisher, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Venom, X-23, Cloak and Dagger, Jessica Jones, Sentry

    Indies: Unnatural, Jeepers Creepers, Project Superpowers, Black Hammer, Ninja-K

    this has been in my recommended feed for a while and finally giving it a read


    Was a bit apprehensive about the "litrpg" sub category that's been popping up but it's surprisingly good, almost like Ready Player One but a good deal better imo. Almost gives me oldschool Everquest feels about it

    I read the Secret Footballer on Tour on a flight which was eight hours. I liked it, but wish I read his first book prior.

    Haven't read any Burroughs before. Starting with this series as my first dip. We'll see how far I get.
