Here is a list of what I read this week. All articles from the Wall Street Journal will require a subscription (sorry); most blog posts are from writers that have piqued my interest for one reason or another.

Books

The Big Dark Sky by Dean Koontz. Reading. I’m 83% complete, managing to grab some time here and there during a very busy week. The good guys have come together, and the bad guy has been identified.

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Reading. Four percent. No progress.

I, Asimov: A Memoir by Isaac Asimov. Reading. I managed to read for about an hour of I, Asimov this week, pushing me to 16% completed.
