    Einstein's God

    by Krista Tippet.



    A good book with the subtitle of "Conversations about Science and the Human Spirit". A book easy to read, nothing heavy, as simple as E=mc2. Relativity speaking.

    Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

    I just read Gone Girl, very well written and quite disturbing at times.
