So a favorite author of mine… I’d say Stephen Hawking. Uh, I’m a big fan of non-fiction books, especially ones that are, uh, related to science. Um, and there… there’s something about his writing style that’s incredibly down to earth for such a brilliant guy. Um, it’s just… you know, it’s easy to kind of make a connection to what he’s talking. He does a great job of putting things, um, in… in a very understandable, uh, putting things in an understandable way. Uh, and that… that’s something that I really appreciate, especially for, uh, such heavy topics like, uh, black holes, and… and time travel…
