Tonight on GeekNights, we get right into our new monthly "book club" with The Prince of Nothing Trilogy by R. Scott. Bakker: The Darkness that Comes Before, The Warrior Prophet, and The Thousandfold Thought.

Tonight on GeekNights, we tell you what to read by going through some of the books that we've loved over the years, including Kavalier and Clay, The Sun Also Rises, Earthsea, Pages of Pain, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Plutarch's Roman Lives, and American Gods. In the news, Chemistry sets are (not) being destroyed by terrorism fears, and Disney goers are too fat for a small world.
