Ten Keys to Reality

Fundamentals

This was a nice, quick read. I enjoyed how Wilczek broke down physics into these different categories, and I found his explanations to be concise and informative. As a physicist myself, I thought it was well done, without turning into a book propping his own ideas up (though he does mention them). Overall, I liked the book.
