Lisa Grønsund | 6163 comments Good luck, Elaine! I could get lost for hours in the list of books on your shelves. I really enjoy Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Have you read Astrophysics for People in a Hurry?


message 4: by Elaine (new)

Elaine | 45 comments I have not yet read Astrophysics for people in a Hurry. It is another book on my TBR pile as well as other books by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Michio Kaku.

Lisa Grønsund | 6163 comments Ah yes, Michio Kaku is another author that could publish their grocery list and I would most definitely want to read it :D I haven't read anything by him yet, but his Google talks are fantastic.
