Wonderful read. Michiu is a stellar story teller.

Did finally finish this one, I think. Want to read one of his others soon, just not yet. Need to balance science with something else. In this case, some late 19th-century American history.

I am in the home stretch. Just started the first chapter in the third part of the book, on black holes and alternate universes.

Wow. I'm just about halfway through now. The book is actually quite interesting, and has definitely been written with the non-scientist/mathemetician in mind. Worth a look. Starting Chapter 6.

Time for the Sunday night slowdown with some reading and music before retiring for the night. Started reading this on and off early last week. I have been wanting to read this and maybe I will do it this time.

Bought this 4 years ago. Finally reading it.

Time for Bro Bro's "learning for pleasure power hour".
