I don&#8217;t have any bad habits, so my only New Year&#8217;s resolution tends to be to read fifty books in a year. Last year [...]]]></description>

Since I&#8217;ve already read every interesting sciencey non-fiction book available in Leuven, I&#8217;ve mostly been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I didn&#8217;t quite reach my goal of finishing fifty books this year like I did last year (or my personal record of 200, in 2004). I blame the dearth of good books I haven&#8217;t read yet in the various bookstores I frequent, and the fact that I started taking my laptop to school instead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I said I was going to read fifty books in 2007, and I thought I was at 48, but when I was actually making the list earlier (because bored) it turned out I&#8217;d miscounted, and I had, in fact, read fifty. Since it&#8217;s unlikely I&#8217;ll be finishing any of the books I&#8217;m reading right now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This took a while to finish. In part because I&#8217;m reading too many books at once, but also because it&#8217;s so depressing I had to put it down a few times. Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson, published in 1962, is single-handedly responsible for revitalising the environmental movement around the world. I wanted to read it [...]]]></description>

In it, he argues that chromosomes behave according to physical laws classical physics can&#8217;t really approach, since classical physical laws are statistical, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson, could have been a reasonably interesting book, if only it hadn&#8217;t been written by a moron. It purports to present a general overview of the state of our knowledge of the world around us, but it&#8230; doesn&#8217;t. Bryson just jumped into a few specific fields, but [...]]]></description>
