This past week I read A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Gotta be honest, a good 70-80% of it shot right over my head. If you’re interested in the speculation on the creation of the universe, black holes, quantum mechanics, even time travel, then this is the book for you. Solid 6 quarks out of 6.
Next up is a collection of stories, essays, and thoughts by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Be on the look out for a Valentine’s Day poem coming this week. It’ll be a double post with two edits - one more in my style, and one that’s a bit shorter and more condensed that you can post up on the fridge, make a cute instagram post, or happily steal and use the words to give to a special someone (+ a bunch of roses and chocolate).
As always, thank you for reading.
kindly,
mike
