I'm on a mission to read (and re-read) every book in my collection before I buy another book (storage is at a premium and there's a bunch I haven't finished / touched in years)... That said I've been on a solid space-themed tear this month... I whipped through "The Martian" by Andy Weir just last weekend - it should go without saying, but the book was far better than the movie (which I thought was pretty darn good anyway). Then I transitioned into re-reading Chris Hadfield's book "An Astronauts Guide To Life On Earth", which is on schedule to be finished this weekend... and I'm also about half-way through "Failure Is Not An Option", Gene Krantz memoir about his time as a NASA Flight Director during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs (he's the guy with the vests played by Ed Harris in Apollo 13).
They say Hitler loved dogs; that doesn't mean I want to travel back in time and discuss the merits of the Border Collie with the guy. He's still an a-hole.
