i need to crawl out of my mind.

shower, coffee, then reading the new book i picked up at half-price today until i fall asleep.
it's called "the fallen sky--an intimate history of shooting stars"

description:
"these characters and many other collectors, researchers, dreamers, schemers, and ordinary people populate christopher cokinos's the fallen sky. through their foibles and successes, their adventures and tragedies, cokinos unfolds the panoramic history of how science came to understand meteorites-the rocks that fall from space to the earth-and how these stones reveal truths not only of the solar system, but of the human heart as well."
