I am reading Big Bang at the moment, by Simon Singh. Written by superstar science geek and author of Fermat's Last Theorem and The Code Book, Big Bang charts the development of theories on the origins of the universe - bringing in history, religion, politics, physics, maths and science. Very readable, but also quite challenging. Especially when tired.
So imagine my delight when I discovered the amazing feature at the end of Chapter One... Crib notes. At the end of each chapter, the author has put in 2 pages of clear, diagrammatic notes, which basically fill you in on all you missed/forgot/can't be arsed to read.
It is perfect!
Now, if we can get someone to do War and Peace, Lord of The Rings and Ulysses I will be the best-read Mummy in the park.
