Bill Bryson's A Shory History of Nearly Everything

Recently, I listened to an audio book abridgement of Bill Bryson's book A Short History of Nearly Everything (the title is humorous). What Mr. Bryson presents here is an interesting, condensed history of science -- physics, geology, chemistry, paleontology, meteorlogy, astronomy, oceanography, and biology. Some of it is a little dated -- dark matter is mentioned, but not dark energy -- still, this audio book is well worth a listen. It should enhance your science fiction reading and viewing.

Dr. Cliff Pickover's The Heaven Virus

I heard an interview with Dr. Cliff Pickover on Coast To Coast AM With George Noory.
He had some interesting things to say about physics, computer science and the movie, The Matrix.
I am looking for his book, The Heaven Virus.

Isaac Asimov's Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain

I just picked up Issac Asimov's book Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain.
I saw the movie, Fantastic Voyage, and read Asimov's book Fantastic Voyage.
I also watched an animated series based on that movie years ago.

Jules Verne's Journey To The Center of the Earth

I am reading Jules Verne's book, Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Years ago, I enjoyed an animated series, Journey to the Center of the Earth, based on the book.
I still enjoy Rick Wakeman's album, Journey to the Center of the Earth.
