In Praise of Wasting Time by Alan Lightman

In Praise of Wasting Time by Alan Lightman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is short and doesn't contain new information but would make a fine gift for someone who works too much or for a young person foolishly considering a job in business or law.

Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was short and definitely inspired some deep thinking. I've had some of these dreams myself, and some of these scenarios (like no memory) exist here in this universe.

Mr g: A Novel About The Creation by Alan Lightman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a strange little book. I’ve never read anything quite like it. It starts like Douglas Adams book, then it’s full of delightful physics, and then it goes somewhere unexpectedly nihilistic. Possibly Lightman himself would disagree with that final assessment but that’s how experienced it.
