Einstein - The Special and General Theory


Eh, if you're into that stuff I'd recommend

The Evolution of Physics - Albert Einstein

or

A Brief History of Time - Steven Hawking

Both are awesome!

I was recommended by the OT to read Raven: Jim Jones and it was pretty fascinating.

Another one the OT did a very good job recommending was Dr Mary's Monkeys

I also really enjoyed The Devil in The White City

Nonfiction written like fiction. I've heard his other books are great as well.

Really good book although I found myself much more interested in the building of Chicago as opposed to the murder mystery.

That the guy who had his followers kill themselves?

It's a good read? What's it like to be in the mind of someone like that? I'm intrigued but not sure I want to subject myself to something like that.

He was the cult leader that killed all his followers at Jonestown in South America. He also killed a US Congressman.

Your reads gonna make you wanna shoot yourself.
Read Lamb by Christopher Moore. Funny shite.
If you like travel and British style wit then read Notes From a Small Island by Bill Bryson.

Or just keep watching porn.

EDIT: I'm trying hard not to be such a harsh and judgmental book snob anymore.
