A lot of people ask me about my reading list. They want to know the sort of books that read during my school, high school, and my undergrad years. I’ve published plenty of articles and stories about science book recommendations — some recommendations specifically associated with particular disciplines, quantum mechanics for instance, and some recommendations related to science in general. If you are reading this, you must also be familiar with the fact that I’ve posted several threads on Twitter about the same, and y’all have shown so much love and support for them.

I’ve read hundreds of books throughout my career as a science communicator and blogger, and to read is an integral part of it. I prefer collecting and reading stuff from books than searching articles online. Of course sometimes one needs to refer to multiple online publications and journals for information that isn’t found on hard copies but the pleasure of reading books is something else.

Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.
