- The Forgotten Revolution by Lucio Russo, recommended by my philosophy professor. It's great and I recommend it to all history geeks out there. It deals with scientific thought and culture during the Hellenistic period, trying to assess it and connect it to the scientific culture of today.
- The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. A recommendation by a professor who teaches evolutionary theory at my uni and something I've wanted to read for a long time.
- Poetry 101 by Susan Dalzell. A quick and pleasant read, though I expected it to be more of a "how-to" guide rather than an introduction to poetry in general.
- A load of textbooks on biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology... Really should focus on this.
