Recommend a book
shrimp:
Apart from graphic novels the written word in general requires you to take part using your imagination to figure out what the characters and sets look like etc.
Mih. Carry on, I'll shut up :)

Aren't we supposed to be recommending books while agreeing to read a recommended book?
NO! I am a non-conformist! BLA BLA BLA!...
Errhmm.. What was that?
Anyway, I recommend
"The Elegant Universe"
This book has forever changed my perception on life altogether - kind of weird for a book about one of the most intriguing theories of science today. Yet the book’s easy reading, laymen comparisons, and excellent writing have careened me onto a train track of thought only discovered by certain train passengers traveling in the most remote areas.
……..What?
Anyway, it's a good book. The first quarter of the book gently recaps Einsteinien views of reality in a playful manner, only to be jostled into more "modern" views where even some of Einstein’s ideas no longer hold. That's okay tho, because Einstein takes a back seat to the weird sense of everything and nothingness that can emerge from thinking about the rest of the book while taking a shower. That is, not reading the book while in the shower unless you decide to purchase one of my "Read your book in the shower" book cover inventions.
For all you people who think you're stupid, I guess you are. But for those who actually enjoy thinking beyond the X number of walls in your head, this book is a good read. Not too scientific-ee and not too stupid either. It's just right.
Okay.
Now, I think I'm going to agree to check out Crime and Punishment because I've never read it, but I've heard about it.
Sure.

I would recomment Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. It is kind of like a modern day Lord of the Flies with a japanese middle school. Another book that I would highly recommend is The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics by Gary Zukav. The "new physics" of Zukav's 1979 book comprises quantum theory, particle physics, and relativity. Even as these theories age they haven't percolated all that far into the collective consciousness; they're too far removed from mundane human experience not to need introduction. The Dancing Wu Li Masters remains an engaging, accessible way to meet the most profound and mind-altering insights of 20th-century science.
