I didn't make it very far! Maybe it'd make more sense now that I have a basic understanding of some of these things. <br /><br />I'm definitely adding all these books to my to-read list! I love reading things that make me feel smarter. :DKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768786324207810131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662156573208048976.post-22219477356773885452012-03-26T11:48:00.630-06:002012-03-26T11:48:00.630-06:00I highly recommend A Walk In the Woods!

It's a little dry, but still pretty good. If he reads the audio book, it will be like HAL-2000 is reading it for you!<br /><br />Also, anything by Brian Greene. He has quite a few, but <i>the Elegant Universe</i> and <i>Fabric of the Cosmos</i> are both great. He does some programs for Nove, so if he reads his own books they will be great. As I heard someone say once, it would be amazing to get baked and just listen to him talk about string theory.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432348277237382412noreply@blogger.com
