What are you reading?

I finished the Troy Rising series. It looks like he is set up to write more on that. I really liked that group of books.

I also just finished (after putting it down and picking it back up a number of times) A Brief History of Time by Steven Hawking. Great book that gets you thinking on a whole different level, but it isn't light reading even though he has clearly "dumbed down" a lot of the subjects. You have to really be concentrating (and go back and re-read a lot) on this--at least I had to.

I am now reading a book about Bella Gunness--The Butcher of Men. A serial killer from the late 1800s to early 1900s. She lured men to her farm with want ads in a paper. I have seen her described as the first "Craig's List Killer." Killed over 40 men. Faked her own death in a house fire, and got away with it. Interesting as hell so far.
