<br /><div>The Trouble With Physics is a newer hardcover (I haven&#39;t bought a hardcover new in years) about stagnation in the realm of physics and the author&#39;s dislike of string theory. I&#39;ve heard mixed things about it but mostly that it&#39;s very good so I&#39;m giving it a shot. Elementary Particles and the Laws of Physics is about the 1986 Dirac Memorial Lectures by Feynman and Weinberg and although it was really just a last minute purchase to get free shipping, it looks like it&#39;ll be fantastic reading. Of course, neither of these books are getting any attention until I finish QED which I started on my way to work this morning. I finally made it through the end of Six Easy Pieces after quite some time in my bag. It was really good, I just got into a rut of only reading it on the train to-and-from work/school which is something like 16 minutes MAX in an entire day.<br /> </div></p>   <p style="clear:both;">
