Not Magic but Science, the book is describing how their vibrations can effect ours, (atoms and such), everything has a vibrational frequency and science has proven it with basic chemistry, (everything is made of atoms and these atoms don't just clump up in a mass, there is space between them and they are always in motion).

It's pseudo-science (bollocks dressed in scientific-looking speak). Thankfully, hospital still deal with evidence-based medicine:

Dana Mackenzie's The Universe in Zero Words:  The Story of Mathematics as Told Through Equations -- hardly "the story of mathematics" but a series of interesting vignettes within that story.  It turns out that it isn't Pythagoras' theorem after all.

I've finally gotten to A Darkness at Sethanon, which is book four in the Riftwar Saga.

Just finished Salvation's Reach by Dan Abnett, book 13 of the Gaunt's Ghosts series, based in the Warhammer 40k universe.  Right now just sort of reading previews of books on my Kindle, trying to figure out what to read next.

Next novel, Michael is back, the Denarians are too and Harry is forced to work with an enemy.

Now go read The Iron Druid Chronicles, you can get a good five sittings out of it. :-P

Wait, how do you already know about the next book?   :34    I've looked at the first book in the Iron Druid series.  I'm mostly Irish anyway.  :p

Jim talked about it.

Interestingly, it keeps the rule of having the Denarians on every book that's a multiple of 5. Will they come back on book 20 (the last one before the apocalypse)?

Just like The Dresden Files, this series is on a fast release cycle so you won't have to wait too much. :)

Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer.

I find it hard to get into fiction, strangely, but most non-fiction I can read and read and read.

I've just finished The Wise Man's Fear, Day Two of Patrick Rothfuss' amazing Kingkiller Chronicles.  The first book, The Name of the Wind, was addictive, the second is absolutely enthralling.  I can barely wait for Book III to be published.

The Name of the Wind is on my to-read list.  Probably will do so in the next couple of months or so.  Right now while I am on vacation I am reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

I'm filling the void until Winds of Winter comes out with Neal Stephenson's Reamde right now.  First book I've read by him, pretty great so far.  Going to have to go back and read Snow Crash or the Baroque Cycle next.
