I recently finished The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene. It's a layman's tour of the latest thinking about cosmology and advanced physics. If this sort of think interests you, then this is a great book. However, don't make the mistake I did. Don't try to read it late at night. You won't last. Particle physics is not a late night subject.

I just started Constitutional Chaos by Judge Andrew Napolitano. I'm about a third of the way through already, and it's turning out to be an interesting read. The subtitle of the book is "What happens when the government breaks its own laws"... which pretty much covers it so far. He gets repetitive in his indignation over the cases he describes, but other than that it's pretty good so far. It looks to be a fast read which is more than I can say for book I just finished.
