Fear No Evil (Alex Cross,  #29)

Mauricio
Mauricio is finished with Madame Zilensky und der König von Finnland. Erzählungen II
En español" Madame Zilensky y el Rey de Finlandia". Un cuento corto sobre una exéntrica y mitómana profesora de música que me hace pensar en el consejo dado por el abogado Roy M Cohn, un maestro de inmoralidad, a su protegido, el presente POTUS: "Una mentira repetida varias veces, se vuelve una verdad".

Mauricio is starting Brave New World Revisited
The non-fiction work Brave New World Revisited, published in 1958, is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World, including the threats to humanity, such as over-population, propaganda, and chemical persuasion.

Mauricio is starting A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing
Interesting but way above my paid grade (head). This and books on the similar subject keeps me away from believing on a creator, be it Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or a mythological one.

Mauricio is starting Fear: Trump in the White House
Just started it. The first part is like reading "Siege", almost to the letter. A review says it is better than "Siege" or "Fire and Fury". We'll see...

Mauricio is starting Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House
Do not want to comment much due to mi bias against this guy, but I believe it describes very well his lack of character and mafia like thoughts.

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House

Mauricio
Mauricio is starting State of the Union
I liked it, read it real fast. It is a blend between a premonition (of 9/11) and the way "Designated Survivor" series started: the killing of all US government except the secretary designated not to assist to the SOTUA, It is a premonition because the World Trade Center is mentioned as a possible next target, and the means terrorist planned to destroy the entire US government. Nice reading

Mauricio is starting The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
The reading of this book is going slow. All I have understood so far is Einstein's formula for energy, and that is because I can read each letter in it, not its implication. The "fact" that there wasn't any space at second "0" of the big bang is over my head; where was all that concentrated mass hanging from? Is it possible that a black hole is a passage to create other universes and that is what happened here?
