On page 16 of The Beauty of Destruction. Not sure what "the walker" chapters are supposed to be about, I'm speculating it's either bress in the future or another character after the void worms destroyed most of humanity in known space. Liking the return of beth in the modern day timeline.

Looks like Hounded: The Graphic Novel releases on November 6th. I like the way morrigan looks in that graphic novel so will definitely buy. And the bastard legion series and veteran/war in heaven by gavin g smith are finally available/in stock.

Reading a few on Quantum Mechanics now (popular science though) I have no background in Physics so more to know about the science that underpins our universe.

In Particular:

Quantum - A guide for the Perplexed
Reality is not what it seems
The Physics of Every Day Things

Although its not my field I find myself wanting to stray more into physics recently.

I'm also really curious to read more about John von Neumann (also about Game Theory), Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman, sadly I plead ignorance for my lack of knowledge about these three I know what they are famous for but I would love to know more about their lives so that's maybe my 9th-10th-11th reading following the list I have already.

Just finished - Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku, it was ok but it's seven years old now so there's been tiny shifts in areas in the last half-decade.

I also have two fiction books I'll be going over:

Unfinished Tales - J.R.R Tolkien
The Silmarillion - J.R.R Tolkien

(Been meaning to read both for a while, always loved Tolkien so to be more familiar with the precursors to Lord of the Rings will be nice).

I have a backlog of around 8 books to go through now, hopefully one a week.

Only one week to go before I order Pinnacle City: A Superhero Noir and Constance Verity saves the world again. Seems like matt carter the author of pinnacle city has a lot of haters which is why his books are low rated on goodreads although almost infamous by him was actually quite good. Constance Verity #2 is high rated but then again a lee martinez is a quality author.
