I just started reading "Origins" by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the astrophysicist. It is an overview of the 14 billion year history of the universe and how it formed. Pretty interesting stuff.
Any other good books, preferably non-fiction, I should look into next?

Finishing up a fiction fix a the moment with the 5th book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. Looking to delve back into the non-fiction realm. I've had Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose (Lewis & Clark expedition) sitting in my bookcase for years now and have yet to read it. Thinking about jumping on that next. I've enjoyed everything else I've read from Ambrose, so I assume this one is just as good.

i read the george martin song of ice and fire. i assume you are watching game of thrones on hbo? cock at law, memory of light is the 14th and final book of a series called "the wheel of time". started by robert jordan. he died, and brandan sanderson wrote the last 2, including the final memory of light. its a typical battle of good vs evil. world on the brink of destruction. it chronicles a regular farm boy as he transforms into a magical warrior to save the world from darkness. i just recently signed up with an audio book club. several years ago i read the 11 book series "legend of the seeker" by terry goodkind. now i am getting them on audio and listening to them when i am doing different tasks. this has opened up a different world for me. i love the audio. but i love my kindle 3g too.

I'm always working on 2 or 3 at a time. Right now I'm listening to "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett, which I had always heard was brilliant. I'm reading The Forgotten by David Baldacci and my current non-fiction book is Sandy Koufax by Jane Leavy. She also wrote a great biography on Mickey Mantle and I think she's working on one about Babe Ruth now.
