...and I can thoroughly recommend this book by astronaught Chris Hadfield for a bit of gentle reading by the beach.

 

And of course, Space Oddity..

Looks like an interesting read. Added to the queue.

 

Fascinating title. Looks like the Washington Post liked it, too...

 

It is an interesting read, he manages to convey the complexity of his job in a way that is accessible to the average reader without it being boring, long winded or over technical. As an avid reader of biographies from all walks of life it is up there with Nelson Mandela's long walk to freedom and Bill Clinton's biography as a well written and engaging book.

 

Thanks for sharing that!
I added it to my "to-read" shelf (saying that, I can higly recommend the app GOOD READS for people who like to read).
Cheers
