A book that I recently acquired for a wedding gift for Ixion and Chris. This was a quirky choice, but I thought it was something they might enjoy.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Caught this from a table at my wedding reception. Thanks so much!

This was one of the (far too) many books that came home with me from today's BCinDC holiday party.

I've contemplated adding this to my wish list many times, so when I picked this in the first lines exchange it may have been a sign. I'll see if I can add it the the TBR pile.

I'm not really sure what to say. This is a bit of a strange duck of a book, part travelogue, part biography, part history. While it had a lot of interesting content, and I can't say that I didn't like it, I'm still not really sure what my overall reaction to it really is. What I can say is that this is well written. Which is probably why I actually finished the book. Had this been poorly written, I'm not sure that I would have found the content compelling enough to sustain my interest all the way to the end. I'm not really sure what I hoped or expected to happen along this trip, but in the end, I'm feeling a bit disappointed, even if I can't clearly articulate why. While I don't regret reading this, it isn't something I'm going to feel any need to revisit.

Ixion is stopping by tonight to pick up the books I'm contributing to the Kensington Day of the Book Street Festival this weekend, and I'm giving this to her to pass along to 6of8.

Ixion brought me this book at Kensington but I had to leave town and didn't have a chance to log this before. I had seriously considered keeping this book to read instead of giving it to the happy couple. I later picked up a copy to read but then I coordinated a shuffle with ResQgeek whereby I put the other copy in a bookbox, he sent me this copy, and I will give him a book from the bookbox.

Interesting but somehow not fascinating. I found the constant fanciful use of adjectives a little off-putting, although I got used to it. I enjoyed learning more about Einstein and the road trip was its main appeal for me because of my own impending road trip. I found myself, like the author, appreciating the burden and blessing of Einstein's brain.

This book was released on a gas pump at the first stop on my road trip to Utah.
