- Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality, by Frank Wilczek. Nobel prize winner’s book. I have real problems with string theory and SUSE. I fully understand that is precisely like me having problems with a Lacrosse coach’s decisions, given that I’ve never seen a Lacrosse game. I know enough to be able to name the quarks, which I’m sure will impress any college freshman. Nevertheless, I love reading middling-challenging particle physics books. Feynman rulez!!
- Dark Matter And The Dinosaurs, Lisa Randall. Lisa is much more approachable, and I loved her Warped Passages.
- Quantum of Nightmares, Charles Stross. How in the world Charlie can have two major series running at the same time – Merchant Princes and Laundry Files – is beyond me. How he can have two of them coming out within three months of each other is impossible. Think Lovecraft meets J.M. Barrie for this one, with heavy emphasis on the Lovecraft.
Next up, I’m going to start on one of the bucket list books. Either Ulysses or Moore’s Jerusalem.
