[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 2767423, member: 2550"] My reading goes from one end of the spectrum to another..........here goes. Dr.Stephen Hawking: A Brief History of Time The Grand Design A Briefer History of Time Black Holes and Baby Universes On the Shoulders of Giants: The Great Works of Physics And Astronomy The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe That's what I've read from him so far. Quite fascinating AND if I remember correctly his first wife wrote a book about their marriage, his beginning stages of ALS, and his work.......need to look it up and find this book if there is such a book. Most to all of the Tony Hillerman books. I thinks its pretty cool how a fellow Okie fell in love(like myself) with the Southwest. He used fictional Navajo police characters but the locations (and if they haven't been torn down or changed)....stores, trading post, coffee shops are/were real places. I remember a few years back Robert Redford made a few of his books into PBS movies. Most to all of Charles Darwin. I believe he wrote around 20-something books but I've only had the chance to read four but I love to read books about him and his work. It dumb founds me how people label him as anti-Christian but he received his degree in theology and was an ordained Parson. He came from a well to do family of conservatives and some of his family members were prominent abolitionists!!! His father was a medical doctor and I believe his brother became one......why Charles didn't finish medical school....remember at his time of medical school there either[B] wasn't an effective anesthesia or they didn't have or use on surgery[/B].....[U]basically watching med-school surgery freaked him out -so he quit[/U]. Lots and lots of Autobiography/Biography.....here's my spectrum.....Buck Owens to Sonny Barger .........Dr. Timothy Leary to Albert Einstein.........Rommel to Patton. Lately magazines; Cigar Afficionado Wrist watch magazines...........Watch and Wrist Watch Motorcycle magazine........The Horse Santa Fean magazine South West Art magazine Chile Pepper magazine Guns of the Old West magazine I guess as of lately..........magazines. *** If you don't want to purchase ........don't forget the OKC libraries!!!
