Absolutely amazing, changed the way I look at the society, will re-read:
- George Orwell, Keep the Aspidistra Flying
Loved:
- Alastair Reynolds, House of Suns
- Andy Weir, The Martian
- Neal Stephenson, Seveneves
- Greg Egan, Teranesia
Liked:
- Arthur C. Clarke, 3001: The Final Odyssey
- Arthur C. Clarke, 2061: Odyssey Three
- Richard Feynman, The Character of Physical Laws
- Richard Feynman, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out
- Jonathan Slack, Stem Cells: A Very Short Introduction
- John Scalzi, Fuzzy Nation (bought the audiobook for Wil Wheaton's narration)
- Ray Monk, Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center
- Alastair Reynolds, Revelation Space
- David C. Cassidy, Beyond Uncertainty: Heisenberg, Quantum Physics, and the Bomb
Found full of BS, did not finish:
- Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power
Textbooks:
- order of 10^3 pages of Open University textbooks
- Klauber, Student Friendly Quantum Field Theory
- Feynman & Hibbs, Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals
- Wald, General Relativity (5 chapters)
- Peskin & Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (5 chapters)
Not as bad as I felt before making the list, but underwhelming in terms of quantity. I intend to read a whole lot more in 2016.
