Even though im an idiot and had to re read a lot, A brief history of time was entertaining and a fascinating read. I'm looking for books like this one but on different topics
>>
>>8352344
For cosmology:
>more stuff by Hawking, since you liked him - Black Holes and Baby Universes is a nice collection
>Cosmos by Carl Sagan

For biology
>The Selfish Gene by Dawkins, it's some of his earliest and best work (before he became Mr. Angry Twitter Rant)
>either Last Chance to See book, there's a Douglas Adams and a Stephen Fry version

For mathematics -
>Godel, Escher, Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid
>Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity by DFW

For physics in general -
>Six Easy Pieces or anything by Feynman really
>>
Chariots of Gods

Don't go for GEB. It makes its concepts way more convoluted than they need to be. If you were interested in those ideas you can just pick up I Am a Strange Loop where he just lays em out without all the puffery.

I do second Selfish Gene though, top notch book. I would recommend these:

A Brief History of Nearly Everything (history of the universe and the story of how we figured it out)
History of the World in Six Glasses (history of civilization)
The Better Angels of Our Nature (history of humanity)
The Selfish Gene (history of life)
The Story of Philosophy (history of thought)
>>
An introduction to mechanics by Kleppner
Calculus volume 1 by Apostol
Principles of modern chemistry by Oxtoby
How to stop being a fucking pseudo-intellectual by Me
