This
year
I
tried
to
pick
a
few
more
things
that
are
on
the
lighter
side.
Each
of
these
books
made
me
think
or
laugh
or,
in
some
cases,
do
both.
I
hope
you
find
something
to
your
liking
here.
If
you
want
to
buy
some,
please
contact
me
as
you
like.

Hyperbole
and
a
Half,
by
Allie
Brosh.
The
book,
based
on
Brosh’s
wildly
popular
website,
contains
simple
vignettes
and
comic
drawings
about
her
young
life.
The
adventures
she
describes
are
mostly
inside
her
head,
where
we
hear
and
see
her
deep
thoughts
most
of
us
are
too
shy
to
let
out
in
public.
You
will
finish
reading
it
in
three
hours,
tops.
But
you’ll
wish
it
went
on
longer,
because
it’s
so
funny
and
smart.
The
Magic
of
Reality,
by
Richard
Dawkins.
Dawkins,
an
evolutionary
biologist
at
Oxford,
has
a
gift
for
making
science
enjoyable.
This
book
is
as
accessible
as
the
TV
series
Cosmos
is
for
younger
audiences—and
as
relevant
for
older
audiences.
It’s
an
interesting,
well-illustrated(图文并茂)
science
textbook
offering
attractive
answers
to
big
questions,
like
“How
did
the
universe
form?”
and
“What
causes
earthquakes?”
