An interesting factoid (as put forward by the Landmark store locally) is that GEB seems to fly off the shelves together with any book from Feynman and, sometimes on Feynman ex. Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman by James Gleick . Whereas Hawking tends to get added with either a Paul Davies or, an Einstein book. Two of the recently (re)read books include God Created the Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History and, The Man Who Knew Too Much: Alan Turing and the Invention of the Computer by David Leavitt. Wouldn't especially recommend the second one though. -- You see things; and you say 'Why?'; But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' - George Bernard Shaw
