Reading

This year my goal is to read one book per month. I am thinking of alternating between fiction and non-fiction. For the non-fiction slots I am shooting for books related to the developement of the different fields in Physics or biographies of influential physisicts. For fiction, probably crime more so than other categories.

• January

  • Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate About The Nature of Reality
  • Manjit Kumar
  • This was a wonderful read. Having a background in Physics helped to understand the magnitude of each developement. I think this would have been good to read prior to diving into Physics but I also don’t think I would have gotten as much out of it as I did had I not already completed my undergrad in Physics.

• February

  • And Then There Were None
  • Agatha Christie
  • I have read a few other of Agatha Christie’s novels. I thoroughly enjoyed this one along with the others. I was stumped until reading the epilogue at the end. I had made a few guesses but had to back track as each of my guesses met their end.
