Mehso-so

I've been reading this FOREVER.
This was a super interesting book, though I will admit some of the concepts were a bit above my education level. I have been reading it in bits and pieces because it was such a challenge for me. Not something I would normally read but Lisa Randall is a kickass woman and it was worth my time! A good pick if you enjoy science or want to learn more.

Echo @Suet624 I am actually planning on reading another one of her books in 2017. This one hopefully built enough of a foundation for me to enjoy the next one a little more!🔬🔭 7y

This is how I wind down before bed. Nonfiction, I've found, is perfect for calming me down before bed. I have enjoyed learning about the LHC and different theories in this book. Who knew physics could be relaxing? 🔬⚛️🤓

This book is taking me ages to get through. I will be the first to admit that this most of this is above my head and I do tend to read more fiction than nonfiction. I will keep going, but to keep burn out away, I do pick it up and put down when the mood strikes. 🤓🔬📖

Completely nerding out to this book. Lisa Randall has broken down physics to an understandable language. It never hurts to learn something new.

brittnaypozen Hey! I tried to tag you in my most recent post, but I think there's a space at the end of your username so the tag isn't working 8y
