My son liked it so much he downloaded it to his computer.

Recently read that this has sold several million to date, and that the album is the #40 all time best seller in Britain. And here I thought it was a geeky little trinket from my youth.

An NYC cop discovers a huge cache of guns in a seemingly abandoned apartment, each of which has been used in unsolved murders that go back for decades. 

The main character, John Tallow, is Ellis' typical loner "smartest guy in the room", in this case someone who happens to know a lot of trivia about the founding of NYC, which is paramount to the case. This time around, it turns out that key people around Tallow also know the same things, so when he tosses out a reference they not only understand it but can continue the thought. here are also a couple of cases of extremely unlikely incidents that would have been leaps in poorly-written episodic TV, let alone a novel written by someone with 20 years of experience. This book is really only for people who love Ellis' writing.

Through tests and research, Prof of Psychology and Behavioral Economics Ariely shows how people will consistently behave in ways that defy logic, and how we can make better decisions based on this.

Filled with self-depricating humor and insights, this book (a follow up to "Predictably Irrational") is weighty in what it says about human nature, but fun and easy to read.

Not as hard as I thought, filled with good books and interesting thoughts.

Through the science of Psychohistory, Harry Seldon foresees the fall of the Galactic Empire, and 30 thousand years before another Empire can rise; but if he can gather all of the knowledge in the galaxy through his "Encyclopedists" at his Foundation, he foretells that the fall will only last 1,000 years.

A series of short stories of "two guys sitting in a room talking" (and they are guys; a couple of women only make the briefest of cameos); as I picked up the story as I went along, had trouble remembering which two guys were sitting around, since the reader doesn't vary his tone for different speakers (I think I got spoiled with the Artemis Fowl reader, who spoke with several different Irish accents).

And as I listened I figured that the stories could really be set in any time with only slightly different circumstances, and indeed Asimov was inspired by Gibbons' "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire."

Hopefully the rest of this trilogy is a little more engaging.

 Saga vol.1- by Brian k Vaughan

 I really enjoyed these books. I highly recommend the two of these if you are looking for something new and different to read.
