A brief history of time

Loved this. Wasn’t dry at all and written with a sense of humour and awareness of the target audience at all times.

For me it is less common to find a non-fiction book unputdownable but I devoured this and enjoyed all of it.

I enjoyed the variety of topics and the sense of scale. The mathematics was supported by analogy and practical examples. There were also interesting parts on general scientific progress. A stand out for me was the commentary that not so long ago learned people were able to hold the sum total of human science in their minds - something that is no longer possible.

I enjoyed the coverage of the anthropic principle however-much it may feel like a cop-out.

Black holes continue to fascinate and terrify me.

Got close and then stopped listening for a couple weeks. When I came back, it was incomprehensible to be because I had forgotten most of the essential foundation laid by the rest of the book :(

Making science accessible to everyone! This really inspired me to love science, or maybe I already loved science.
