Review of 'Letters from an Astrophysicist' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I enjoyed this one so much! I found it equal parts amusing and inspiring, and got a lot out of it that I didn't expect to. The 9/11 chapter I found especially moving, and I'm not usually one to get emotional over the event. The letters he enclosed that he wrote to various individuals were always insightful, and I particularly liked the line he delivered about berevity about halfway in:

"Personally, I try to spend twice as much time to make things half as long."

I feel like that's applicable just about anywhere, as were many of the quotes I noted down in my reading journal for this book. Highly recommend. One of my new favorites.
