Came in the mail today! *does happy dance*...ahem...Star Wars - Fate of the Jedi: Abyss by Troy Denning. Yes, I'm a complete and utter nerd, I read and own all the Star Wars books.
 
The plays of William Shakespere accuratly printed from the text of the corrected copies left by the late George Steevens,Esq and Edmond Malone,Esq with a scetch of his life and a glossary. (1823)

Wow they dont print titles like they used to!

Initially bought as a kind of investment/find in a dusty bookshop but having every single Shakespere play to hand in my house is a good feeling, makes me feel cultured! haha.

Oh the vanity..

It's too bad you never read those books. I'd love to talk physics books with someone outside of bimmerforums.
 
I purchased the following titles (as well as the covers, pages and words :p) a week ago, however, having just worked back to back shifts five days straight I have not even had a chance to glance inside the covers of any of them. :sad: *mutters about nursing shortages*

A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson
The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky
A Mathematician's Apology - G. H. Hardy
Nostromo - Joseph Conrad
 
I tell you this...I got the physics book today and I just began reading it. In the words of Spock the Vulcan, Fascinating!

Now I am awaking from my math slumber. No more problematic addition and subtraction calculations (too hard for my little brain to handle). It's time to tackle Quantum Mechanics! Schrödinger's cat experiment! The ten dimensional Strings in a flexible Einstein universe...yes the micro and the macro together alas! Unification! :flowers:

Time begins (Big Bang); time ends (Black Holes) - that's deep dude! :whistling:

Excuse me, my shoe laces are untied. There! Now I have reentered our 4-D space. Did you miss me? :D
