Started What If? by Randall Munroe.

It’s by the guy who runs / draws xkcd.com web comics, and gives serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions. For example: Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?

Questions are weird like that, but the science is real, so an interesting read. Specially if you are a fan of xkcd.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    I started Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Only ~60 pages in so far but I’m hooked. The story is being told beautifully and there’s an air of mystery that I’m absolutely loving. Really hoping it sticks the landing and becomes a new favorite for me.
