Always nourishing. Astronomer Jordan Alexander recommended I read this in preparation for attending his seminars at Auckland University not long before he took his amazing and humbling flight on the space Observatory plane About three years ago. I have been enriched by meeting Jordan and by the insights gained from this book every time I pick it up no matter how briefly!

Refreshingly honest, absolutely intelligent, A sheer pleasure to listen to, truly educating with balance of facts, plain common sense logic and wit. David Belinski’s thoughts, articles, books, interviews belong on every educated person’s bookcases.

I can't remember where I got up to!

Drawing on puzzles according to personalities around me at work. Some people just want the answers. Others just give up and pretend they weren't interested anyway. Still others want to dispute solutions claiming ambiguous or misleading data. I think I'm going to learn tricks of magic instead for such ones!

I read forwards some times and also review earlier readings. I's so enjoyable wherever I start reading!

Reading Coming of Age in the Milky Way was almost as enjoyable as reading Catch 22.
I can't imagine Catch 22 ever being displaced from it's lofty place in my heart. Some scientific "facts" in Coming of Age in the Milky Way might yet be revised, whereas Joseph Heller's perspectives on war can't be disputed ever. They were, I guess, as presented at the time of writing. Only he could revise his own perspectives later.
