COSMICOMICS

I am currently reading a book by writer Italo Calvino titled Cosmicomics. I am totally in love with it and I wish I had found this book much sooner. I can't find words to describe this book, so I'll pull from a critic.

Julie Phillips describes the book by explaining that "In the beginning, before the Big Bang, all the matter in the universe was concentrated in a single point. Qfwfq can tell you about it: He was there. "Naturally, we were all there--where else could we have been? Nobody knew then that there could be space. Or time, either: What use did we have for time, packed in there like sardines?" She goes on: "Through the eyes of Qfwfq and his family, we see space and time on a human scale, while human emotion--playful, boisterous, wistful--expands to fill the universe."

I can't recommend this book highly enough! It's focus on science and astronomy has gotten me interested  in and enthralled by the Hubble Space Telescope, which truly captures amazing scenes from our universe.
