A Good Read.

I'm presently reading At The Existentialist Café, by Sarah Bakewell. Her writing style can best be defined by 'chatty'. I've a better idea of what the existentialists were trying to come to grips with than ever before. I've also picked up more information on who was sleeping with whom than I really desired. Has anyone else read her books? This one in particular?

Regards, stay safe 'n well.

I don't know if you are aware, but there is a thread on the front page - "Currently Reading." If you post book recommendations there, more people will see them. Here's a link:

Jim Al-Khalili's 9 enigmas of physics. Just finished chapter 1 and it sets the stage for paradoxes by discussing some of the most famous ones from Greek antiquity (vide Zeno); Jim promises an exhilirating journey through Physics' many solved/unsolved mysteries.
