Some books I've enjoyed recently

For the past year I've been more concerned with writing my own book than reading others! But here's a collection of some of the books I've enjoyed recently, including fiction, non-fiction, and even a cookbook.

In this video I recommend books I've been reading. Some of these are based on physics, one is a physics textbook, one is a vegan cookbook, several are science fiction, one is written by Lindsay Ellis, one of my favourites is written by Philip Pullman, and the final one is written by social santa himself, Noam Chomsky.

Combining a Ron Swanson quote with a Vegan cookbook recommendation, THE BALLS ON THIS MAN.

[@olivergraham3233]

Highly recommend The Three Body Problem series. Best sci fi I've ever read and seems to be right up your street.

[@benbowers3613]

YES!! I just finished the first book, it's so good. Very interesting look at the nature of science itself. Also aliens!

[@umbrainsidiatori1790]

Literally came to comment the same thing. Excellent series

[@xDanoss318x]

Thanks for the Recommendations! I've recently read "Humankind: A Hopeful History" and I gotta say, it's one of the best books I've ever read. Highly recommending it!

[@SimonClark]

On my TBR pile!

[@ankushds7018]

Man. I love you. I seriously do. I started reading this book and omg. I. I am so happy. It's an evidence-based statement of hope. I could feel the writer lift me out of existential crises triggered by the meaninglessness of evolution and the universe. When he said (in Chapter 4, I think), "Maybe there's no creator and our existence might be a fluke but at least we aren't alone. We have eachother". If I'd read this out of context, I'd barf from the cringe, but I got goosebumps when I read it.

Always love, love your books curation Simon. Thank you for taking your time for this selection and for your honest thoughts, both about the good or the bad of the books AND the way you approach them. Even if I'd skip some as of now, I learned few interesting things along the way. Happy to see this kind of content from you from time to time. Thank you ♡

Finally another book video! I've started the wheel of time series ready for the amazon tv series. It starts of very Tolkien and then branches off into something so different.

[@planetvegan7843]

Thank you for your pleasant advocacy. 🐣

[@matanelgrabli6930]

A new book by Andy Weir (The Martian author), "Project Hail Mary", I would highly recommend it for you.

[@RaidsEpicly]

Agreed, it was really good. It plays to his strengths as a writer much better than his underwhelming second book (Artemis) as well, in my opinion.

[@thelastcube.]

Somehow Andy managed to top Martian which was super good in the first place

[@galacticduck6429]

Project Hail Mary is a great book! Finished it yesterday. Found it had the best elements of The Martian mixed with a grander, more epic plot. Definitely Weir's best book so far. Simon you should definitely give it a read! Can imagine you'd love it!

[@AngelOnFira]

I haven't watched any of your book videos before, but I saw Philip Pullman and decided to give it a go. Definitely going to watch the previous videos now!

[@ntdkegs14]

Favorite books read this past year: - The making of the atomic bomb by Rhodes - The Splendid and the Vile by Larson - The Case for Animal Rights by Regan - Spillover by Quammen - Quantum by Manjit Kumar - The Life You Can Save by Singer

[@vavin6927]

It bit of a out of the box recommendation but I’ve been reading Berserk. I know its a graphic novel/manga but it truly explores the depth and depravity of humanity and the read is truly enthralling. I will give a warning that it is extremely violent.

[@Sandra-hj9mj]

I don't know if you will believe me or not, but I was thinking about your channel this day and checking your feed. As an Aspiring scientist who has similar interests of you, I find myself really peaceful after watching your videos. Thanks for everything that you are doing. Yeah!

[@moshehaifa]

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to hearing what you read next.

[@willdavie]

Love to see it. I found your channel around a year ago searching ‘good physics books’ on yt. another great video.

[@8OBO8]

10:00 haha, I also often use train tickets as bookmarks

[@chironicle]

Always love a book video! I really need to get round to reading The Book of Dust. Regarding book recommendations, if you enjoy Tolkien and haven’t read The Silmarillion I’d highly recommend it, such a good story. Blood and Roses by Helen Castor I would also recommend if you’re interested in history, it’s a narrative of a 15th century English family based off of extant letters and it’s surprisingly personal.

[@eikopalma3072]

Feeling like I need some of this books in my life, and of course after that intro, your book!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!

[@yodh]

I just finished Dune about a month ago and I have similar opinions about it. Looking forwards to the movie and hope that re-sparks my interest in the story. Some fiction books I've enjoyed recently: Rabbits - Terry Miles The Animals in that Country - Laura Jean McKay The Bear - Andrew Krivak Non-fiction: The Lost Pianos of Siberia - Sophy Roberts The Precipice - Toby Ord Axiomatic - Maria Tumarkin

[@vitaminc2161]

I am reading Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. I will check out Axiom's end and history of bees next.

[@LucasCarter2]

Did you ever get around to reading any Brandon Sanderson? I remember you said you’d been meaning to, and if you still haven’t tried any, give warbreaker a shot or perhaps mistborn the final empire.

[@SimonClark]

Ah not yet! Give me a year or two and I will have worked my way up to him

[@LucasCarter2]

@@SimonClark I’ll be eagerly awaiting your next book videos then. And to be fair I’ve been delaying dune about 70 pages in because of the exact reasons you outlined about the main character and it’s early pacing drags on so much I haven’t had the will to make it through the slog.

[@jameskilgour387]

I've just got through Elantris and the first Mistborn book. Both were phenomenal, also highly recommend

[@godminnette2]

@@jameskilgour387 Oh man, you are in for a treat if you thought those were phenomenal. Era 2 of Mistborn and Stormlight are something else

Read History of Bees on your recommendation, absolutely wonderful book. Thanks Simon

[@kankanabanerjee7541]

Love that name, "firmament" 😍😍.

[@thetuerk]

That's the most wholesome thumbnail/title combination I have ever witnessed

[@MrSam2450]

One book I recently reread was Black Holes & Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy by Kip Thorne. Its from 1995 so a bit old but tbh doesnt feel too dated. Its a pop science book on Black House but focusing heavily on the Historical Perspective so for someone who likes the History of Science might be worth a look

[@LiveCustoms]

I highly recommend the Red Rising series, especially the second book golden son. It’ll change your life.

[@jameskilgour387]

I've been meaning to finish that series, I've heard it gets much better after the first book

[@LiveCustoms]

@@jameskilgour387 100% the second and third book are nothing like the first book. In the end the first book is kinda like the odd one out

[@Rymontp]

My thoughts on Dune are exactly the same. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@CLBellamey]

Great recommendation on the Happy Pear, I follow them on KZbin and the book sounds a lot more structured than the twins constantly speaking over each other 😅 I recommend Avante Garde Vegan, his Katsu curry recipe is my favourite thing to make ever and my family love it, although I blend the sauce before serving it. Definitely worth a try!

[@pjbainzo93]

Thanks for the recommendations! Would definitely backup your take on Manufacturing Consent, I read it recently - I think the principles are still incredibly relevant to today's media (minus some of the data which is specific to the time period)

[@falsificationism]

I'm so happy to hear about your vegan diet. Definitely going to check out the cookbook!

[@BrandonTwede]

I just read the first two Dune books. The second is a very interesting continuation of Paul's story after several years had passed and I thought it was good. I'm not sure if I'll read the third but I probably will some day. I'm super exited to see how well the film does.

[@joshuahillerup4290]

During the pandemic I started reading Seanan McGuire, and I can't recommend her InCryptid series highly enough. It's an urban fantasy series about a family of cryptozoologists, and it's just so well done.

[@blckberrystone]

Thanks for recommendations! Could you make a video about going vegan/vegetarian/plant-based? I am slowly transitioning myself so am very curious to hear about your experience!

[@felixmandelbart]

I can recommend Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. It's a humourous scifi-novel and presents an alien visit to earth, or rather its consequences, in a (for me at least) new and interesting way.

[@CaptainAndroc]

It was also the inspiration for the film Stalker and to a lesser extent the games of the same name. Great book.

[@James-is1bm]

Oh wow I didn't expect the Happy Pear's cookbook to be in this list, I can confirm it is a great cookbook

[@crankfwd8209]

Little off-topic... I think we can use ram pumps to solve the energy crisis. First we build a hollow cylindrical tower out at sea, to a depth of say 1100m. The tower is open to the air at the top and has a sealed base at the bottom. We drill a hole about 20m below the surface and feed water into the tower. The water falls down a pipe for about 200m where it powers a turbine that is connected to an electricity generator. We collect the water and drop it down a pipe for another 200m to another turbine. We do this twice more until we are getting electricity from four generators. We then drop the water another 200m to power a turbine which drives a cog that is geared to turn a disc at the base of the tower. The waste water from the last turbine starts to collect at the bottom of the tower creating a shallow reservoir that we need to pump out. The rotating disc at the base of the tower has cams along its edge. These cams are used to push pistons outwards. These pistons are in cylinders built into the wall in a circular formation. The cylinders are sealed at the interior side apart from where a piston rod enters to push the piston outward. The outside of the piston head is exposed to the deep sea water. The cam will push the piston outward against the high pressure deep sea water. An inlet pipe will take water from our shallow reservoir which will be pulled into the space created in the cylinder, behind the piston head. When the cam releases the piston, the low pressure water inside the cylinder will be the only thing pushing the piston out against the high pressure deep sea water. This is when the system acts as a ram pump. The piston will be forced inward and will force the low pressure water back out through the inlet pipe toward the reservoir. The inlet pipe will now act the same as a waste pipe in a ram pump and the flowing water will shut a waste valve. The remaining water in the cylinder will be forced through a check valve into a pipe and upwards to the surface. The larger the diameter of the tower, the more cylinders that can be built into the wall at the base of the tower. I realise that the ram pump cylinder will pump more of its water back into the reservoir than it sends to the surface but we can always add more cylinders to the system. We can even put another layer of cylinders above the original ones as ram pumps still work underneath shallow water. I think we should be able to pump water upwards at the same rate that it falls into the bottom of the tower and so keep the reservoir nice and shallow. Now, if I understand the maths correctly, we might only be able to pump the water near to the surface. In that case, we can pump the water into a reservoir tank (inside the tower) and use the electricity generated by the first turbine to pump out the tank. This will leave us with 3 generators worth of electricity for every tower built. Would this work? Everyone, please comment.

[@EuskaltelEuskadi]

National Populism by Matthew Goodwin and Roger Eatwell, The Shallows by Nicholas Carr and Bleak House by Charles Dickens are the best books I've read so far this year. I also finally got round to reading His Dark Materials (after remembering Simon recommended it!) and loved it!

[@muffigaming2787]

Have you read The Expanse? Currently almost finished with Part 2 and it really has me captured.

[@andrewbedser4823]

I recommend ‘House of Leaves’ by Mark Z. Danielewski. Mind melting fiction that’s: Horror/Romance/an academic paper/diary, all rolled into one. It’s one you have to sit with, but it is so rewarding.

[@mathisgilsbach116]

A book I enjoyed recently was Reindeer Chronicles by Judith D. Schwartz which is basically a collection of stories about ecosystem restoration projects around the globe. She takes a systemic view at how ecosystems function, what role humans and local communities play and is overall at the same time pragmatic and hopeful about the future of this planet.

[@mariorovati8370]

Nexus by Ramez Naam. It's an action packed sci-fi novel and it's just mind-blowing, one of the best books I've ever read!

[@RaidsEpicly]

I literally couldn't put that book down, read the whole thing in a single day. Then read the second one the next day. Fantastic trilogy! I wish the first chapter was a little better though, I can see some people getting the wrong impression from it

I would recommend Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think. Lewis recommended it on Triforce. The way he engages the reader with anecdotes and easy to comprehend statistics is very intriguing.

[@Ara-ot2yq]

Dune is definitely one of the best books I read last year, in fact it goes down as one of the best books I’ve ever read. This coming from someone who up until a couple of years ago wouldn’t have dreamt of going near a sci-fi book. Dune is so beautifully written.

First of all I would say that please make videos on books more frequently. I really love your book recommendations. And now coming to my recommendations- In fiction I would recommend The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and as of science I would love to recommend Fashion, Faith and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe by Roger Penrose and Michio Kaku's "The God Equation" and for a political outlook the all time best Chanakya Neeti. Hope you like anyone of my recommend books.

I'd really recommend Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England by Marc Morris. I feel like anglo-saxon history is often absent from history classes (at least imo, here in the UK), instead history classes in early secondary school and onwards focus on the Norman conquest. As someone who knew very little about the dark ages, viking invasion, etc. this book was very engaging!

This is a general author recommendation but I am a fan of China Mieville. Probs my favourite book of his so far is The City and the City (there was a TV adaptation a few yrs ago), but for bizarre and interesting sci-fi concepts Embassytown is great (the hook is how do humans communicate with an alien species with 2 mouths and then it explores ideas of cultural misunderstandings). If you happen to be interested in history tho he has also written a book on the Russian Revolution called October which is somehow told as compellingly as a novel even tho the outcome is known.

[@forthrightgambitia1032]

Dune was one of the sources that fed into the creation of the 40k Universe (especially Necromunda).

[@SimonClark]

Yeah you can really tell! Quite apart from the thematic stuff, quite a few bits of vocabulary are directly lifted like lasgun

[@forthrightgambitia1032]

​@@SimonClark Yeah. If you ever get a chance I'd recommend reading Michael Moorcock's Multiverse/Eternal Champion books although the universe is a bit of a monster to get in to. They are basically the foundational texts of dark fantasy and dark sci-fi, a major reaction against the Tolkeinification of fantasy. The whole chaos element of the Warhammer and later 40k universe was taken from those books. They are some very fine books too and very readable - the Elric, Jerry Cornelius, Hawkmoon and The Dancers at the End of Time books especially. The author was involved with writing lyrics for early rock bands like Blue Oyster Cult (Veteran of the Psychic Wars etc.), which is a link to the heavy metal aesthetic of modern fantasy and sci-fi. Funnily enough I once asked him about 40k when he used to answer questions directly about 20 years ago on a website he had and he seemed pretty bitter about 40k copying him. There was a whole lawsuit he raised about the 5th chaos god Malal that meant the concept was scrapped though the Chaos renegade band the Sons of Malice are a cheeky reference to that.
