There are many good books out there, and generally prefer the non-fiction ones. When it comes to cool science books, many of you will have enjoyed Hawking, Bryson, Sacks and Hofstadter, but a while back I discovered these old heroes of science, like Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan and still alive, but relevant anyway, Richard Dawkins.
Amazing, amusing, fascinating, you mustn't miss these books, and they're all available as audio books for your lazy leisure!:
- "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" (magnet) by Richard Feynman
- "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" (magnet) by Carl Sagan
- "The God Delusion" (magnet) by Richard Dawkins
This may be a realization only for me, but my heroes are actually mortal... and Oliver Sacks is dreadfully old...
