Hello people. I'm Jim and I'm new here. Just looking around right now.

I'm an avid reader of science and math books and I see you guys read that sort of stuff regularly here.

What kind of science books?

Thanks for the welcome froglipz, mariaforyounow and NY152!

I have a couple shelves of layman books, mainly dealing with quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, particle physics, and a few on genetics and evolution. Stuff like In Search of Schrödinger's Cat, Interactions, and any of Stephen Hawking's stuff, etc.

Then I have a large bookcase filled with books on the various branches of mathematics, and the various fields of physics: mainly concentrating on electromagnetism, particle physics, quantum mechanics, Special and General relativity, quantum field theory, cosmology and Superstrings.

I LOVE science and mathematics. I have been humbly blessed with a brain that can work through much of this stuff.

If anyone wants, I can name off some other good (layman or non-layman) book suggestions.

Well, many of the controls are similar with other forums I've participated in. I even started a BookTalk.org blog: http://www.booktalk.org/blogs/tampamathtutor, well, with a great friend's help that is.

Thanks Chris. I have been looking around. It looks like quite a collection of smart book readers here on the forum.

I have the Quark and the Jaguar sitting on my shelf. Is it any good? I haven't read it yet.

I haven't read that layman book (yet). But Murray Gell-Mann is a very famous physicist and Amazon gives the book a favorable rating.
