Cocytus 12/08/20 3:49:50 PM #71:	DuranOfForcena posted... i've been into learning more about physics lately. i'm currently making my way through Neil deGrasse Tyson's and Avis Lang's Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military, but it's been a pretty slow read, because it's quite dense, and it has like 150 pages of footnotes. there are literally dozens of footnotes in every chapter. it really breaks the flow having to click/tap to go to the footnote and read it and then click/tap to go back to where you were. before that, i read NdGT's Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, and it was pretty good, but before that, i read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time and Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and i thought they were both great!

I really liked it; the dude writes action very well, and it's very much an action series. How did it end up being compared to the first book? I have it on my shelf, havent read it yet.
