We have so many books to go through this spring/summer. So, so, many.

Edit kleinbl00, Devac, she just showed me the books she got on your guys' recommendations. Are you kidding me? THOSE THINGS ARE TITANIC!

I was not expecting them to both show up at the same time, so I got some work to do.

The big difference between The Road to Reality and seven Pratchett novels is that novels are light reading... this is a guide to physics being read by someone who estimates her current mathematical capabilities at a 3rd grade level. Like when he talks about fractions at the beginning? I'm nodding and thinking, I know I learned fractions in school but I remember nothing about how to deal with them now. The good news is that I have been doing exercises on Khan Academy occasionally in an attempt to build my skills back up to something less pathetic.

Those aren't books. Those are doorstops with words inside them.
