Emails at work. Boring.
 
The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem. I'm catching up on his books after not having read any for several years. This one is as good as anything he's written. I'm not sure why I missed some of his stuff.

The 4% Universe
Dark matter, Dark Energy, and the Race To Discover The Rest Of Reality
- Richard Panek

What they thought the numbers were when the book was written (copyright 2011):
Age of the universe (Time = 0) - 13.7 billion years old
Hubble Constant - 70.2
- 0.98
72.8% of our Universe is made of undetectable Dark energy.
22.7% of our Universe is made of so far undetectable Dark matter.
4.56% of our Universe is made of baryonic matter.

I'm reading John Grisham's Gray Mountain. I'm only on the first chapters and it's been good so far.
 
kmH got me curious, so I just bought "The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory Kindle Edition" for my iPhone and iPad. Oh! And my Kindle lol!! Love this stuff! Been watching the Higgs Boson stuff for a couple years now, too. I'll probably check out his 4% Universe after finishing this one.
