The United States Navy discovers a crashed craft, and includes a cross-disciplinary team in its investigation.
I liked it, though I found it rather simple. I had already seen the movie that was inspired by this book, which I really liked, and that likely coloured my views.

A host of features to manage processes, such as changing CPU priority. It has lots of automated magic for system happiness. I use it for its control of the CPU’s power profile, making this the equivalent of Linux‘s cpufrequtils.
Highly recommended.

Some kids are given Lantern rings for transporting around.
I read a decent ways in before getting bored. The combination of language (English-age) and language (audience-age) made it tiring. It’s definitely a book to be read aloud to a 10 year old girl, and I respect that. I’d, even, be the one to do the reading aloud.. but not the listening.
This is a seven volume unabridge compilation, presented in the author’s intended reading order.

I could only get through the first chapter before setting this down. It has flowery awkward old English which I will avoid from now on.

An man works to undermine his brother’s happiness by meddling with his son’s marriage. Also two smart people dual with words.
A pretty good book, though my reading of the Signet Classic was seriously interrupted by footnotes. Not because of the shifting up/down to read them, but because the footnotes are crammed all together. Given that this book is 1/4 commentary, axing one for clearer footnotes would have been amazing. Maybe another edition will be better. I intend to collect many of this particular play.
I highly recommend Much Ado About Nothing – (1993 movie), even for those who have no interest in this book.

A cross-platform open-source animation program.
I didn’t want to deal with Blender, so I checked this out for simple animations. So far, so good. Even at a glance it could have been done far better, but maybe I can make do.

It’s not great, but it’ll do for now.
