Thank you.
I look forward to reading these.
I think I’ve read more books after 50 (i’m 52) than in all the years before :)
Actually it’s sad but it is what it is. Didn’t get interested until older.
Look at it this way - you’ve got another 50 years of reading ahead! That’s a lot of books.
Out of the realm of physics, I’d recommend collected works of:
Shakespeare, Alexander Pope, William Butler Yeats, TS Eliot, all of Lawrence Durrell.
For light reading with hard science: Iain M Banks Culture series, Stephen Baxter’s Xeelee series, Gregory Benfords’s Galactic Center series. all of Gene Wolf.
Modern Discoveries: Robert Temple’s Egyptian Dawn, The Sphinx Mystery, and Crystal Sun; anything on the origins of anatomically correct human species (us) - now mtDNA dated back to 300,000 years.
Those should take you down the road a few years ... :)
