For those who love ideas, a fun outing submitted by hathaway1066 on July 22, 2013, 10:57pm If you tend to connect things that are not normally seen as related, this is a great book for you--it shows how math and music and physics can be seen to be about deeper, shared patterns.
Interesting medley of ideas submitted by Zhengyang1022 on July 27, 2017, 12:54pm This is a huge novel that talks about math, patterns, biology, and basically everything else. Quite dense, but very rewarding if you get through. Also the dialogues are great, highly recommend.
