    Reading The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi. He's no Frank Herbert or Neal Stephenson, but his books are consistently breezy and entertaining.

    A novel. Every Day is For the Thief - Teju Cole. A man revisits his native Nigeria after 15 years in the US. Loved it! Best thing on the $2 table - and far too good for it.

    I am very interested in productivity. I am reading "Deep Work" by Cal Newport and "Getting things Done" by David Allen. They are both excellent.

    I am VERY interested in any other books that address how to be more productive, etc. if anyone has recommendations.
