In my Discworld reading, I am up to Eric, I started reading the mega-webserial Worm, but only a chapter a day.

I have committed the sin of leaving my last book half-finished. Instead I read The Quantum Universe, revised 2nd ed. by Tony Hey & Patrick Walters which is a neat primer on quantum mechanics. And I read Egg, by Richard Burton, which is a children's book with marvelous photographs of various species in the act of hatching. I currently read Molecules, by Peter Atkins, which is a collection of descriptions of various molecules, where they are found in nature, what they usually react with, and their products.

I am for artificial wombs, but then I'm also for the experimentation on the genetic code of human beings, which some may deem monstrous.

Both print and pdf format have their advantages. I prefer not having a hardcopy hanging around, taking up space, unless it's a reference book. That said, hardcopies are very useful for sneaking peeks at during traffic lights, long lines, and times where you want to conserve your battery power.

My casual reading book at the moment is Why the West Rules For Now by Ian Morris.
