I finished "The BIG Picture" by @seanmcarroll It is a great book, must read for everyone. I have 2 comments: 1) In P134, the author implied that even History can be considered a science, which was quite surprise for me. (to be continued)      source

The most "tour de force" fun book I ever read was Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Hofstadter but the most tour-de-force "non-fun" book was The Big Picture by Sean Carroll Both deep stuff & highly recommended.      source
