It may
not be for everybody, but here are some titles (old and new) that are rocking
my world:
- “Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking is simply amazing. What strikes me is not the level of difficulty because frankly it’s not that dense (and this from a person whose brain-freeze can be ice cream-binge-y when it comes to reading about physics and mathematics) but the number of times a sentence will earn his exclamation mark!
- “Innumeracy” by John Allen Paulos. Okay, so now I’m obsessed with the fact that I’ve been on the Earth for only 22,722 days and that there is just so much more to do!
- And then there is the fella who is responsible for this spate of exciting science-based reading: “Realty Is Not What It Seems” by Carlo Rovelli. I may not be picking up everything Rovelli is putting down …. But this quantum gravity business?! I can see how it’s got minds old and young stirring bodies out of bed in the morning, chasing this holy grail of science.
