Started reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm not into horror movies/books and I always associate him with those types. So far though this series is pretty cool.

I am reading The Road To Serfdom by Friedrich A. Hayek and Time and Again by Jack Finney.
The Road To Serfdom is like an injection of pure oxygen into my brain. Feels damn good.
I am reading Time and Again because it supposedly inspired Stephen King's 11/22/63. And just because King said that book had inspired his, Time and Again was put back into print!
Speaking of King, I had stopped reading him a long time ago because his work really went to shit when be started cranking out three, four, five, six books a year.
But with 11/22/63, I had to give it a shot. The plot was just too irresistible. And now that I have finished it, I can say the old King is back. A ripping good tale.

Just finished reading "The little red book of common sense investing".
Pretty much confirmed what I thought, and provided some valuable insight. Highly recommend for any would-be investors or those interested in index funds.

For whatever reason I read Dean Koontz' The Taking. The ending is absolutely terrible.
