Favourite books?

hypercolius

Hi, I wanted to start this thread to share what our favourite books are!

Here are mine:

Favourite overall: Life and Death: Twilight reimagined (Meyer). I love romantic novels. Love, theoretically was also excellent as was Love hypothesis :) 

Favourite non-fiction: Assyria: The rise and fall of the world's first empire (Frahm). This caused a massive, obsessive hyperfocus on learning about Assyria when I'm just an astrophysicist!

  • I’ve never been able to reread books but I like books that change your perspective or aid you to see things in a different light. I read three books in a series during lockdown that opened my eyes a lot. They were by Yuval Noah Harari, the first in the trio is called Sapiens followed by Homo Deus and lastly 21 Lessons. The books topics cover the very beginnings of humanity and religions to technology and what may lay ahead for the future of humanity referring to AI especially.
