*gush*

I'm currently reading (yes, reading!) is 'Death by Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandries' by Neil Tyson, a director at the Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Natural History in NY. What I like about this book so far is that it delves fairly deep into astrophysics, but is written so the layman can understand it, and without sounding the least bit condescending. You should check it out.

I also love it because he could keep pace with Jon Stewart where many of his ilk have fallen miserably.

Part 1
Part 2

The best quote of this book so far:
"What are the lessons to be learned from this journey of the mind? That humans are emotionally fragile, perennially gullible, hopelessly ignorant masters of an insignificantly small speck in the cosmos.
Have a nice day."
