I read Einstein's Dreams earlier this year and heartily add my recommendation, too.

So I thought Einstein's Dreams was in Denver, but I was organizing a stack of to-be-reads and realized that it's right here with me. It's a tiny little book too, almost a novella, so as soon as I finish my non-fiction book I'm sure I'll be done with it in a flash.

And Einstein's Dreams which I received a few days ago from a fellow BookMoocher, it's small and could be read in about 1-2 hours but so far is so wonderful I'm restricting ... I've got bookmarks in four books this week. I'm about 2/3 thru Einstein: His Work and Universe by Walter Isaacson. Well done biography that captures the man and the science.
