Reading a couple of books at the moment: Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality by Max Tegmark and The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters. The Curse of the Pharaohs is an Amelia Peabody mystery and the follow-up to Crocodile on the Sandbank, which was a former MobileRead Book Club selection. Our Mathematical Universe is a non-fiction work that explores the radical possibility that mathematics not only describe our universe, but in a very real sense, ARE our universe. Shades of Pythagoras!
