I love any kind of literature that isn't boring. My favorite authors are Umberto Eco and Somerset Maugham.

I am a particle physicist, so I love books about science and especially about the history of science.

    Mock not my Chomsky. Just because you have softer linguists like Eco on your shelf doesn't mean my man Noam isn't worth a little consideration =)

    Try this one: "Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos" by Dennis Overbye. It does for cosmological astronomy what "Second Creation" did for particle physics, and it's an even better read.

    [It's on my shelf, if you want to link to it that way]

    As soon as I added "The Second Creation" to my shelf, I found that you are the only other Shelfarian who has it.

    Not yet :-( I started to read it in the car, but I didn't know the names of cities he dropped, so I held off and read Stephen Crane short stories. Mom was also listening to squeaky celtic music, haha. I plan to read it in the next two weeks!
