"Hiding in the Mirror: The Mysterious Allure of Extra Dimensions, from Plato to String Theory and Beyond" by Lawrence M. Krauss

Occasionally I get to thinking that I'm a pretty smart guy. Heck, I have a degree in Mathematics. I work as a software engineer doing research for a successful public company. There's an reason solution to this sort of prideful thinking. All I need to do is read a book about theoretical physics. A few minutes of reading this book was all I needed to remind myself that compared to many of the minds on the planet, I am Forrest Gump. It's a bit demoralizing to read a book and only understand one out of every four pages. What I understood was quite good though.
