The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch (Second Edition) by Neil Gaiman, Michael Zuli
This is an updated edition of an older comic. It recounts the story of an evening to an odd circus and what happened to one of their party while they were there. Three friends plan an evening out and due to a last minute addition to the group of a sorta friend of a friend from out of town they go to odd circus show of only human performers. To really say any more would ruin the plot but it was an enjoyable read.

#21 Quantum Night by Robert J. Sawyer
Mar. 23rd, 2016 06:48 pmThe story is set in the near future and blends ideas from physics with psychology. A college professor comes to realize a study he took part in during his undergraduate days has caused a hole in his memory. As he digs into his past he finds out things about those missing six months and that he was a completely different person than the one he is now. Part of the story focuses on his discovery of his memory hole and how it came to be. And current events in the book bring up painful choices when he finds out he can do the same thing to others.
I read the entire book but I really didn’t care for any of the characters. I kept reading this hoping I would feel a connection and maybe come to like them and care about what was happening in the story but it wasn’t the case. Most of the time I kept reading this thinking the author read about something very interesting to him in science and decided to write an entire novel about it if he has to go over the concepts again and again in the plot. I wanted to like the book but I found myself just left with a feeling of “meh” after reading it and it will take some hard convincing for me to pick up another.
