*Finished up reading two more novels this break:

Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon. I read this cuz in the intro to aerospace class, the teacher told us it was one of the classic literary works pertaining to our field. It's surprising how much Verne got right about how a moon launch would actually go, considering he wrote the book like 100+ years before the Apollo missions. At the same time though, there's a good bit he got wrong too. Reading the book made me think more about orbital mechanics than I have since sophomore year, and that's saying a lot, considering I had space apps lab between then and now. Anyways, the book was a surprisingly interesting read. A realistic portrayal of the problem solving process.

Nick Hornby's How to Be Good. Hilarious book about a failing marriage. Dares to say what I bet a lot of people think, but wouldn't admit. Anyways, one of my favorite passages from the book points out, [love is as undemocratic as money- it tends to accumulate around people who already have it.] In context of the story, I thought that was really deep. I like Hornby's style; I think I'll check out more of his work.
