Just finished "The Big Picture" by Sean Carroll. Very good book for a layman's understanding of quantum theory, how it relates to other scientific disciplines and how it relates to everyday life.
Started the Pure Trilogy by Julianna Baggott for the drive home and will abandon it immediately. Her obvious lack of scientific knowledge and unwillingness to research the basics make the book unreadable. Note to Julianna: If you want to write post-apocalyptic, after the nukes fall fiction, you really, really need to research how it will affect humanity and not just throw shit at the wall hoping it'll stick. No, people and buildings cannot "fuse" and continue as a living creature. No, humans and animals will not hybridize as the result of a nuclear explosion nor would they breed true even if they did.
