Thanks, it's #3 on the list as I see it right now, so it'll be fairly soon. If it's half as good as Vera, it'll be fantastic.

Odd Thomas by Koontz. I started reading it at a coffee shop on my way home and I can tell I won't be able to put it down any time soon. It's written like a memoir from an insane person. I busted out laughing three times in the coffee shop and I'm only on page 10.

On the Orgins of Species by Charles Darwin on audio CD (read by Richard Dawkins)

I read this about a year ago or so. It makes for a good read and Darwin made it widely known that a lot of things had to still be worked on. A good scientific mind in all respects.
