Ever see a movie, watch a TV show, or read a book and afterward say to yourself, "I wish I had written that!"? That just how I felt yesterday after finishing The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.

I'm now just past halfway through Stephen Hawking's "The Theory of Everything". Not sure which one to read next. I still have two more Hawking books bought and loaded into my Kindle (plus one pbook). Although I may have to read something lighter inbetween. Perhaps a Jeremy Clarkson or two coming up next.

Can't say that I have. But I have watched a painting (a room of paintings by Rothko, actually) and felt a strong urge to run back home and start painting. It's a wonderful feeling.

Well, once you're done with "The Theory of Everything?" What could be left?

Well, I guess that when done all the theory, I'd have to start with everything practical

The Grand Design of which I'm about halfway through. This is the one in which he says you didn't need God to create the universe. He goes on about this in the first chapter then launches into a review of classical physics, special and general relativity and now quantum mechanics. Don't know where we're going next. I'll post the details when I get there.

Yes, I have that one also. In addition, "A Brief History of Time" and, as pbook; "A Stubbornly Persistent Illusion".

As mentioned, I'll probably do some lighter reading inbetween.
By somtime tomorrow I should have dug well into a new book.

I really don't get what people see in this guy, I've read a number of his stories and usually just end the story and shake my head. I've tried numerous times to read his stuff and it always ends this way.
