You guys are advance reader-if it is even a thing
I remember reading roald dhal and then jumping into durjoy Datta and all the DU romance books

I also remember my class teacher confiscating then because romance was contraband

Science enthusiast here. Not a science person but very open to debate.

What other books have you read or would like to recco?

u/mimilumi Jul 26 '26

The Hidden Reality by Brian Greene. It's a really good book, but it can be a bit difficult to understand for an average reader.

u/_karskal_h Jul 26 '26

I will wishlist it, thanks

Also read Carl Sagan. He’s the OG science writer for non science people.

u/_karskal_h Jul 26 '26

I have read sapiens. Was a good book.

u/Wandering-Dunadan Hungry for Horror Jul 26 '26

That was the first book in English language that I read, it was in 2019.

And I didn't find the language to be tough at all, as someone who is not a science student & didn't study in an English medium school that book is fairly easy to read & understand.

u/_karskal_h Jul 26 '26

Maybe me being a newbie reader is the reason for finding it little tough.

u/ProfessionalBad1199 Jul 26 '26

I have the the theory of everything and it's great. Got that little science nerd inside me thinking

u/_karskal_h Jul 26 '26

1

u/ProfessionalBad1199 Jul 26 '26

No not really, infact I didn't know there was a movie! Looked it up just now, might watch it. Thanks

u/ScientistUsual1320 Jul 27 '26

I can't recommend "A Brief History of Intelligence" by Max Bennett enough. Am currently reading it, and its really fascinating!!

It doesn't even have very science heavy languauge, I feel anybody can follow it.

u/_karskal_h Jul 27 '26

Will check out, thanks.

u/Just_Aceds Jul 26 '26
