Hello,

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman: Adventures of a Curious Character. The book is not about physics or maths, it's more about Feynman as a person. The book is easy to read and it tells some humorous anecdotes about Feynman, who never misses a trick.

Got myself a copy of 'A Brief History Of Time'-[Stephen Hawkin]
I thought it'd be exactly that,Universe,start-to-end,sort of thing.
But it has a LOT of depth. I've several times found myself writing out the equations,trying to find fault! Honestly. A thick plank like me,ffs!
THAT'S how involving this book is.

 

OK...this is for just people that like reading for reading's sake (surprised, right? lol)...and get the occasional revelation, epiphany or whathaveyou from good words strung together...

I just finished one of Dean Koontz's best books From The Corner Of His Eye.

Right now I'm reading a book of short-stories by F. Paul Wilson, Aftershock & Others / 16 Oddities. F. Paul Wilson is a very interesting man...he used to practice medicine, is a horror writer, the author of the Repairman Jack books, and medical thrillers, among other works. He is very prolific.

ok...back to everybody else's Serious Non-fiction and/or deep classics...

 

Just finished 'Radio Free Albemuth' by Philip k. Dick.

For anyone who has read the better known 'Valis' by the same author, this is like a different take on the same theme. I enjoyed it anyway.

 

A lot of his books are focused on themes of identity, intuition, divinity, delusion -- and the questions of how can we know sanity or reality through our limited perceptions.

 

Fair comment.

 

Hello,

Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. I'm not a huge fan of Science Fiction, albeit Bradbury tells some nice stories I find the book mostly boring. But that's just me. A lot of people got some good inspirations from it.

----------------------------------------------
Slaughterhouse-Five is one of the world's great anti-war books. Centering on the infamous fire-bombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim's odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we are afraid to know.

 

I got these two today






Will start later today.

 

Love that.

 

I just ordered "The Old Man and the Sea", on recommendation from a friend.

 

We had to read that for school, a long time ago.
I loved it back then.

 

Hello,

Asgard, by Walter Hansen, is a book about the author's journeys to Iceland. He tries to map the places of the Edda, like Valhalla or Niflheimr, to real places on Iceland. It's an interesting read, even if you not much into norse mythology.
