Hawking, Stephen. A Brief History of Time. (various versions, depending on what the library has available. I started with Bantam Books' 2011 version (epub), am now working temporarily with a less than ideal version available online while I wait for my renewal to process in two weeks. Yes, this is a slow-going project!)
Hesiod. The Theogony. Translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White. 2014. Available on the Sacred Texts site.
***
I had a thought a couple of weeks ago that I could challenge myself to write a sonnet on what I read as I go through this "course." I took up an offer by ecosophia reader Stuart to learn to write sonnets and so I might just do it.
So far, I've written one, based on the opening lines of The Theogony. It'll be interesting to see if I can come up with something on what I've read so far of Hawking.
In general, I'm taking notes (by which I mean writing down things that seem important, either for the author's thesis and that I should retain or as some sort of thrust-block/meditation fodder, commonplace-book style).
