Today I finished The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos by Brian Greene. I found it to be sometimes hard going, but always enlightening and well worth the effort. Brian Greene has a wonderful writing style, but most of the endnotes that began with the words "For the mathematically inclined" completely swamped me. This is an endlessly fascinating subject explained by a most competent instructor. Highly, highly recommended.
