      My interests are too narrow. I focus entirely on specific ideologies & cultural manifestations of them. Fine to have specific interests but not to be completely ignorant of everything else. Each month, I will pick a subject I am ignorant of & read accessible texts 30 mins a day.

      April will be about physics. Obviously, I will still know very little about physics at the end of a single month but I am actually very vague about what it even covers and I can read several books in this time. I might go for a Great Courses introduction & listen while dogwalking

          I’m sure you’re already planning to read A Brief History of Time. The Elegant Universe is also really interesting.

          I, perhaps wrongly, have a feeling that the history of science can be a good way for non-science types to start to get a feel for science. If so, this is jolly good: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0035OC7VI/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …

          one of my (soon to be BSc in physics) favourite popsci physics related books is chaos by james gleick leon lederman's the god particle does a nice job telling the tale of particle physics through history and this little feynman gem about scientists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_science …
