A Brief History of Time (Stephen Hawking)

This is a book on theoretical cosmology, written for readers with no prior knowledge of physics and who wish to discover some secrets of our universe. I love this one, as it’s a lesson in humility, in many aspects.

Mystery of the Yellow Room (Gaston Leroux)

A great brain-teaser detective novel concerning a seemingly impossible crime in which the criminal appears to disappear from a locked room. Even knowing the end of the story, I read it twice. Perfect summertime beach reading!

The Ice People (René Barjavel)

Once Upon an Ice Age (Roy Lewis)
BOOK
Once Upon an Ice Age (Roy Lewis)

One of my favourite humorous books. Set in prehistoric Africa, it tells the story of a tribal leader, who wants to share his discoveries for the good of humanity, and his sons, who want to use them to gain power over the other tribes! Smart, sometime hilarious, and full of comparison with modern society.

Fairy Tales and Princess Stories

Fairy Tales and Princess Stories

Don’t laugh! As parents of two daughters, my wife and I read bedtime stories to them both. We believe this helps to develop dozens of skills, from memory to language capabilities, not to mention the benefits for both sides in spending dedicated, privileged time with my daughters.
