Last night's episode of The Big Bang Theory mentioned one of my favorite books, Flatland by Edwin Abbot. Isaac Asimov described it as "the best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." It's a really interesting read and I highly recommend it.
And speaking of Big Bang Theory, I received a great CD for Christmas. My daughter gave me Here Comes Science by They Might Be Giants. It's the third album in the children's series by TMBG (who also wrote the theme song for Big Bang Theory) and covers some aspects of chemistry, astronomy and biology remarkably well in some very catchy tunes -- which won't drive adults nuts. It's a great learning tool for kids.
