&quot;Leaving Orbit - Notes from the last days of American spaceflight&quot; - pleasantly sentimental view of the wind down of the shuttle program.<p>&quot;The Dark Forest&quot; 2nd installment in Three Body Problem series. Quite clever.<p>&quot;This Changes Everything&quot; - triggered by a quote from the doc on the radio about trying not to think about climate change and whether it&#x27;s possible to be bored by the end of the world. Lots of good info (including a visit to a climate deniers conference), bit long winded.<p>&quot;The Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics&quot;. If I read only 10% still worth it. Lots of things to dip into.<p>&quot;The Astronomer and the Witch&quot; Kepler fights to save his mother from persecution.
