The lull was just to wait on you.
I'm currently reading Neil DeGrasse Tyson's - Origins and enjoying it a lot. It's much better IMO than some of his other collections of articles/columns that his recent books seem to be. (they tend to be repetitive)

Also reading "In Short" - very short creative non-fiction pieces with some true gems in the batch.
