Welcome to Litsy!

Mlodinow (who uses “Max Planck” when making restaurant reservations b/c his last name is so unusual) makes this, an history of science and its thinkers, a fascinating and accessible read. I highly recommend! Thanks to @Lynnsoprano for including this in the Christmas exchange 💖

This author adds his own humor throughout this historical look towards science. Very readable so far; thanks to @Lynnsoprano for sending this to me in the last Secret Santa exchange 😊!

It has taken me a long time to finish this book, but I‘m glad I read it slowly and in sections. There is so much to digest here. Yes, it‘s a history of scientific thought, but it is so much more. The writing is beautiful and thoughtful. I‘m not a scientist, although I‘ve lived with them all my life. Ive learned more about how scientists think and view the world through this book than anything else. Highly recommended.

A sure sign of the coming Apocalypse: my technophobe hubby took his Kindle along for our weekly coffee and books morning. Although it‘s not exactly books: he only has long .pdf articles downloaded onto his Kindle. Still, it may definitely be a sign the world, at least as I know it, is coming to an end 😂

“Science had evolved a coherent culture of experiment and calculation and grown into an enterprise that enjoyed enormous prestige...”
In some ways, Newton‘s time was ahead of ours.

My resolutions for the new year do not include any changes to our Tuesday books and coffee routine, unless it‘s to try to keep interruptions to our schedule to a minimum 😄

Back to coffee and books with hubby, and back to this book. Fascinating, but I need time to digest each chapter. Also waiting for hubby to finish his #currentread since he keeps saying that I will like it.

Reading in the waiting room while hubby has an appointment with the orthopedist. I could probably pull a quote from every page.

Phew! Exam is finished! I have an hour until class reconvenes for a final session, so I brought my book out into the garden. I‘m surrounded by begonias, palms, bamboo, and serenity. I can feel the stress floating away. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes have found me, so I may need to relocate.

It‘s Tuesday morning book and coffee for me, but hubby is reviewing a paper for a journal and rapidly running out of red ink😂 I think he wishes he had brought his book instead.

This week‘s edition of Tuesday morning coffee and books with hubby. This is a fascinating and well written book.

I‘m starting a new nonfiction that my husband raves about. I‘m only 25 pages in, and I can understand why he was so enthusiastic about this book. Very readable. I could probably post at least one quote from every page so far.

#bookmail My husband has been reading a library copy of this and raving about it. He wasn't going to have it finished before we leave on our trip, so he planned to return it, but said he definitely wants to finish it after we return, and maybe we should get our own copy. If that wasn't an invitation to place an Amazon order, I don't know what is. Not the only thing I got, but the rest was music.
