Honestly I don‘t have many U‘s (and not a single X…looking ahead). But I like Stephen Hawking and this was fun.

Steven Hawking studied the Universe his entire life.

I finished but it was a struggle. Some parts I think I sort of understood, others not at all. The pictures sometimes clarified things, sometimes didn't.

I did gather that the important thing is whether the mathematical theory accounts for observations and makes verifiable predictions, without worrying about what reality corresponds to the maths, which we can visualise in different ways. So perhaps it doesn't matter if I understand it.

And The Showings of Julian of Norwich

From ancient to modern

In memoriam. I don't know what's happened to my copy of A Brief History of Time

Ich bin schon ziemlich traurig. Und das, obwohl ich jedes Mal, wenn ich versucht habe, das Buch zu lesen, schon nach kurzer Zeit aufgeben musste, weil ich einfach _nichts_ verstanden habe.

1. Not specifically, but I usually read in bed.
2. Bookmark, but I'm not above using random objects.
3. I at least need a scene break.
4. Usually. #fueledbychai
5. Music
6. 1 book in each format: ebook, audio, paper.
7. Everywhere
8. Silently
9. I skim sometimes with nonfiction.
10. I try not to, but I don't obsess about it, either.
11. Only textbooks. But I use lots of post it's and take notes on those.
12. Anyone who wants to take part.

Slowly working my way through smart people books! I do think I understand a bit more each time I listen to one.

I want to, but I don't get it. This is my version for the #outofthisworld
