The Physics of Superheroes
I won't lie: I barely passed high school physics (one of my more legendary moments was turning in a test where, instead of answering any questions, I drew the teacher killing me on the back). It was a weird time in my life and I didn't have the necessary focus. I picked up this book and was instantly fascinated by the introduction to a world I was afraid of via the superheroes of my youth.

The Black Dahlia
I didn't know anything about this infamously unsolved case until the movie came out and my roommate, Robin, informed me of its existence. When I moved to Brooklyn and was too poor to do anything I picked this up at the library. Thought mostly plot, it still manages to involve interesting psychological juxtapositions between cops and murderer. One of those stories you can't put down.

2nd Worst
Jack: The Great Seducer
Another book I picked up from the Brooklyn Library. Sure, the place doesn't have the greatest of selections, but I thought this was going to be more than the trashy sex bio it turned out to be. Jack, the actor, deserves so much better than this.

Worst
Dark Watch
A book I received for Xmas last year, "Dark Watch" is nothing more but an all-plot time waster. Unfortunately, the plot got just silly in the middle and didn't get any better. I couldn't wait to finish it and move on to my next book.
