I tried with A Brief History of Time. Couldn't wrap my mind around it much like toytoy, reading words that didn't sink in. Then I found the illustrated version and for the first time began to understand the cusp of string theory. More than the theories and explanations that the book presented, what it did for me was began to pry open my mind to the idea of concepts beyond my experience. It made me more curious about the world. Even if an idea couldn't be immediately understood, that someone did, meant that if I worked hard enough, I could too. Breaking this initial barrier of 'not being smart enough to understand', I started to believe that I could do anything and I think that made a lot of difference for me.

You know who (Surprisingly) wrote a really good, readable book on quantum physics? Tim Allen. Yes, the tool guy.

This is absolutely true. It's like, half quantum physics, half standup.
