Books read in March 2012

Galileo’s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love by Dava Sobel — It is the story of Galileo, of course, but if his daughter had been born a few centuries later, she would probably be known as a scientist or mathematician. The other interesting story in the book was the loss of so much of the correspondence between him and his daughter.

Books read in February 2012

Year in Provence by Peter Mayle — Almost like traveling without the costs. Also it seems the frustrations of having work done on a house is worldwide.

About Alice by Calvin Trillian — It’s been awhile since I’ve ready Trillian. He’s a pleasure to read.

The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement by David Brooks — A good book, but it had several very slow sections in it. A book to read and consider re-reading later.
