    The Heist by Daniel Silva. I didn't realize this was part of a series, but seems to read well enough as a standalone. A fun heist/spy novel about an art theft. I tried to read The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco, but didn't get very far into it (10 pages) before realizing it wasn't my cup of tea. Pretty much a story of conspiracy upon conspiracy surrounding the famous Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

    re-reading Starkers "Safe House"

    next, I'll re-read Wayward Pines...they made it into a movie...it'll be on TV on May 14, on Fox. If it's only half as good as the book, it will be worth seeing.

    ^^ You're having a sweet time with Asimov. I should re-read some of those myself.

    Lately, I've been reading an anthology called Extreme Planets.

    College Accounting: A Contemporary Approach (Third Edition), Chapter 12 (out of 13). After slogging through two chapters of Payroll, the end is finally in sight... and then the exam.

    I feel like I should have you running all my promotions :) Hope you're enjoying it as much second time round.

    I hadn't heard of Wayward Pines until I saw a trailer for the show earlier this week. Intriguing...

    I still have two Doctors to go in my 11 Doctor's anthology, but taking a break and have started reading The Knowledge a book detailing how to restart civilisation after the apocalypse, quite interesting so far.

    It's a bit of a mixed bag so far, but I'm enjoying it.

    That often the case with anthologies. Are you recommending it?

    At the moment, I'm leaning toward yes, but I have a ways to go.
