When I was in college, I really didn't enjoy reading. At that time, reading was a chore for me, something I HAD to do, work I didn't find important or enjoyable. Now reading is not a chore for me but a hobby, something I love to do! And I read all kinds of different things, especially things I don't quite understand or that sometimes are a little beyond my ability, but I still read them and enjoy the challenge.
Some things I have recently read and enjoyed or am currently enjoying are:
The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field. This book describes how the minds of great mathematicians worked; most often they don't think in language but in pictures in order to solve problems and imagine theories.
The Elegant Universe. This book describes the possible physics of the design and function of the entire universe and the possible combination of scientific ideas in that field.
The Stuff of Thought. This book describes how the ways we use language can reveal the way our mind works and what bigger thoughts we are expressing that are behind what we say.
Born to Run. This book tells a true story about a man (the author) who went to some canyons in Mexico to find a tribe of long distance runners and discover their secrets and lifestyle and understand how humans maybe were better designed for long-distance running than we may think.
Discover magazine. This science magazine always has interesting articles. I especially like to read articles that talk about the design of the universe. Here is a link to one of their blogs that features pictures: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/visualscience/
So, what do you love to read? Which books or magazines? What kinds of stories? What online sites?
