I just finished reading "The Crack in the Edge of the World" by Simon 
Winchester. It's basically about world wide earthquakes (history), and 
modern geology. There's a lot of focus on the 1906 SF eq. Lots of 
interesting material. It got me thinking about seismology and related 
matters. You might find this interesting. Sit at your computer and watch the 
earth creak and groan.

Here are some interesting realtime earthquack maps.

choices, and that a right-click with mouse yet more. Tricky to bookmark
