I like novels like "Brave New World" by Huxley and "1984" by Orwell
and nonfiction books like "The Sun, The Genome And The Internet" by Freeman Dyson and "Visions" by Michio Kaku.
Honestly, my favorite book of all time is my general microbiology textbook and in close second is my calculus textbook. I spend a lot of reading time on short sections of classical latin texts, I'm not fluent enough to read a whole book.
I read these:
Winter 2003
"Visions" by Michio Kaku
"Superstrings: A Theory Of Everything?" by Davies and Brown
Spring 2003
"Surely You're Joaking Mr. Feynmann" by Feynmann
Summer 2003
"Holes" by Louis Sachar
"Stranger in a Strange Land" by Heinlein
Fall 2003
"No Picnic On Mount Kenya" by Felice Benuzzi
Winter 2004
"Introduction to Elementary Particles" by Griffiths
Spring 2004
"Tensor Calculus, Relativity and Cosmology" by D.F. Lawden
"Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Field Theory" by Katz

"Gravity" by Hartle
"Quantum Field Theory" by Mandel and Shaw
