The "Books Dealing With Something You’re Working On At The Moment" all sound really interesting. You've piqued my curiosity as to what it is (specifically) you're working on.
I enjoyed Foucault's Pendulum - very tangled/Byzantine.
I'm going to write about my work again soon, I just don't like to discuss my classes or classes I'm TAing because I don't want others to feel exposed.
Yeah, I know. No pressure. Just curious. :-)
