Gone but not forgotten
I'm reading "The Last Surgeon " by Michael Palmer . It's just okay .
That describes a lot of the Dave Robichaux stories. Still, I like the stories even though the "cop with a drinking problem" has been overdone, Burke does it well, so I think I'll hit half-priced books to look for it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. It's about the relationships that develop between captives and captors during an extended hostage situation. Just beautifully written. It's now my favorite book - and I'm an avid reader.
I have seen this book and I assumed it was about opera!
It is a good read and will help with the conceptual stuff but it doesn't get into the underlying math. I was surprised to get it right away when I ordered it at the library.I'm now #23 on the waiting list for From Eternity to Here at our library. Seems to be a popular read. There is a nice video intro by the author here Amazon.com: From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time (9780525951339): Sean Carroll: Books
It's been a long time since I took that statistical mechanics class and I never really felt like I had an intuitive grasp of some of that stuff. Maybe this book will help?
Interesting you should say that. This book was recently on PBS as a BBC production in the Masterpiece series. I couldn't even watch it after the first 20 minutes as it came across as so dark and depressing, so sorry can't help you out.
I borrowed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from my daughter and just started that book. My daughter warned me that I might be offended by it in some way...like she was my mother or something warning me about my reading material. Boy, she has a lot to learn about me.
