Just finished 'The Black Hole War', a non-fiction book about the dispute between Steven Hawking and Leonard Susskind regarding the properties of black holes.

I'm not going to lie and say I understood it all but, the bits I did were fascinating. And, Susskind's descriptions of Hawking and all the various meetings of physics' leading lights were fascinating. And the author kept the complex math at bay.

All in all, a damned good science book.
