Aha I was given a copy of the variations of A Brief History and a couple of Sagan's books. I managed to keep my head through most of A Brief History of The Universe (I think it is), but stopped reading because life was calling my name at the time. Lately, I've looking into the Sagan books I have (Pale Blue Dot, Contact, Demon Haunted World and I think one other one... I don't remember what it is though.)

EDIT: not a physicist myself, just somebody with some time to invest.

Reading is not KILLING time. Reading is investing. Sagan has inspired many people. Follow theadvancedapes on hubski and look at his post here. Click the title "Shoulders of Giants" for an excellent science reading list starting with SAGAN.

This thread turned into another post I made via Hawking's website lil it's in my feed somewhere within the last two hours, on mobile, kind of busy and can't link.
