Roy Klein is reading Doomsday Book (Oxford Time Travel, #1)
So far this is a one star book. It reads like the first book of a very young author with some promise, a book they'd look back on with embarrassment even though it's a necessary step.

Roy Klein is on page 250 of 487 of The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations That Transform the World
Halfway through. Started as an introduction to philosophy of science, then became a quantum physics popular science book, now it's aggressively advertising the Many worlds interpretation of quantum physics. I can only assume there are more plot twists to follow..

Roy Klein is 28% done with Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture
This is what I expected the Prince of Persia book to be like. Immensely enjoying this so far.

Roy Klein is on page 200 of 429 of The Princess Bride
Masterful storytelling, perky and original. Perfect light reading material.
I feel that reading the book before watching the film would've been a more rewarding experience, as the film is basically the book minus the more boring parts.

Roy Klein is on page 60 of 200 of Intelligent Governance for the 21st Century: A Middle Way between West and East
Unorganized, feels slanted towards the Chinese system of government, but challenging to some of my longest held beliefs.

So far, feels like it's writing by academia, for academia. i.e obfuscated writing on purpose.

Roy Klein is on page 30 of 296 of Metaprogramming Ruby: Program Like the Ruby Pros
I bought the book knowing that its presentation style is unorthodox. I'm glad for the warning, as I am free to enjoy it now. If it came by surprise I probably wouldn't have been appreciative.

Not quite concrete for my taste but does contain useful insights.

Roy Klein is on page 100 of 336 of Beyond Terror and Martyrdom: The Future of the Middle East
Not very well organized. It's very hard to come out of the book with concrete, structured information.

Roy Klein is on page 20 of 480 of Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1)
If the books was the first work of a teenager I'd say the kid's got potential, but I'd still be irritated with the juvenile writing, vision and characters.

Roy Klein is on page 80 of 370 of Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja
Early draft. Lots of errors and inconsistencies, but so far the best book about the inner workings of Javascript I've read.

Roy Klein is 50% done with Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other
So far the book is a weird combination between the author's insistence on weak anecdotal evidence combined with extremely thought provoking perspective.
