Darwin's Black Box
by Michael Behe
The creation/evolution debate is one I find interesting, but not that interesting. I've said in the past that I'd like to read more on evolution, but the truth is, I haven't. And this book, well, I've heard about it for years, but it wasn't until I picked up a copy of it at a book sale that I actually got around to reading it. At one point I checked the copyright date and saw that it was first published in 1996. Oy! I am a master of procrastination! Anyway, I digress. In Darwin's Black Box, Professor Behe examines Darwin's theory of evolution via natural selection in light of the findings of (then) current biochemistry. He offers a number of examples showing that biological systems are incredibly complex mechanisms and could not have developed piecemeal from random mutations. I found it an fascinating read. Oh, not his arguments about evolution. This book has been in print so long that I've heard most of them before in other media. What I really enjoyed was his examples--descriptions of some natural wonders that are happening all around us. It took me back to childhood days when I'd pore over science books from the library.
Check it out!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne
This is a sequel to the Harry Potter series, picking up the tale of Harry Potter's middle child as he goes off to Hogwart's. He has to cope with living in the shadow of his famous father while trying to find his own path in life. While it's not as compelling a tale as those in the original series, it is an enjoyable story. I wish the folks in Hollywood would have chose to make this into a film rather than the Fantastic Beasts ones.
Check it out.
