Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.Bought it yesterday.
Noću, u intimnom, poluglasnom razgovoru sa samim sobom, nikako ne mogu zapravo logički opravdati zašto se u posljednje vrijeme toliko uzrujavam zbog ljudske gluposti.

My library just sold some old books. I bought:
1. Intruder in the Dust by W. Faulkner
2. J. Kerouac: On the Road (My second copy. Love the novel.)
3. S. Rushdie: Fury
4. H.G. Wells: The History of Mr. Polly
5. B. Easton Ellis: American Psycho
I read this a few weeks ago, definitely worth the hype... and while there are some sections that are fairly esoteric, it is to Hawking's credit that he makes pretty difficult concepts digestible to the non-physicist...
I think you probably need to have a basic interest/curiosity in astro-physics and cosmology though otherwise it could be pretty hard work ..
Obviously...
