Another treasure discovered on my trek to the Pacific Ocean. A book called Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman.

Each chapter is a hypnotic dream in which Time is explained in every imaginable and impossible facet. Interspersed throughout this are occasional breaks where we see Einstein himself, in simple moments of every day life.
There is nothing ordinary about this book, however. It charms. It enthralls. It makes you close the cover, and imagine a world where Time stops. Or stutters. Or spins in circles....
Consider this the Foxfire Book Recommendation of the Month. And if you do read it - please, visit me again and leave your comments here. In fact, I may just set up a new section to this site, in order for discussions about the books I choose to feature. Hands up, who likes the idea? :)
