Bulletproof Witch: Shadows And Revelations by F.J. Blair.

Newest installment of this fantasy/western, where a young female gunfighter trained to fight demons continues her hunt for the evil entities who had murdered her family.
So far so good.

On The Road, by Jack Kerouac.

Started on Kerouac's fictionalized autobiographical piece, because it's reputation precedes it. So far, it's an interesting read, dealing with his narrator's relationship with wanna-be-intellectual criminal, Dean Moriarty, and the writers and poets of the Beat movement they cross paths with.

Grob's Basic Electronics, 11th Edition, (C) 2011, by Mitchel E. Schultz

Chapter 30 -- Field Effect Transistors, page 948

The field effect transistor (FET) is a three-terminal device similar to the bipolar junction transistor.  The FET, however, is a unipolar device that depends on only one type of charge carrier, either free electrons or holes.  There are basically two types of FETs: the junction field effect transistor, abbreviated JFET, and the metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor, abbreviated MOSFET.

Unlike bipolar transistors, which are current-controlled devices, FETs are voltage-controlled devices, i.e., an input voltage controls an output current.  The input impedance is extremely high (of the order of megohms) for FETs and therefore they require very little power from the driving source.  Their high input impedance is one reason that FETs are sometimes preferred over bipolar transistors.

I'm reading a book about how the 1969-1970 New York Knicks came together.

Not exactly STEM material!

I have a copy of North and South which I need to try soon. I haven't read anything by her. I take it you're a fan.
