"Masters of Doom" is a wild ride! Highly recommend this book, especially if you work in Tech. Plus mad respect for the "2 Johns" who built sophisticated graphics games like Wolf-3D & Doom in a DOS-based, pre-Windows-95 World! Full review at https://t.co/bgZmiDb3Rh

1/3 "The End of Everything (Astrophysically speaking)" is a wild, imaginative, and intense book! Dr. Katie Mack (@AstroKatie), a theoretical cosmologist from NCSU (my alma mater!), discusses mind-boggling ideas about how the end of the Universe might look like.

"The Guest List" is a snoozefest. Shouldn't have dived in with high expectations hoping for the next "Gone Girl". The "whodunit" fan in me is disappointed, book review at https://t.co/zyVdHTflXa
