No bites yet! How about some feedback? Uninteresting books? Difficult conditions? Books are passe now? :)

I'm waiting for a book that will help me with my studies in the next few years :p. You have some VERY interesting books that I would love (I'm sure based off the first 5 already), so I am being patient for the one that will help me most :D.

Greg gave away Foundation? Should I be sad that he doesn't value scripture? Or should I rejoice that he has memorized every word of it, and is now giving it away as an act of proselytization?

It has not been claimed yet :)

Will there be more books on mathematics (differential equations, partial differential equations, abstract algebra and etc.) or electrical engineering (electronic circuits)? It is because textbooks would be good for my self studying. :D

Did atyy claim Foundation? Because I suddenly have an urge to read sci-fi.

If he hasn't, I'll take it. Otherwise, I'll take About Time.

I'll take "The Elegant Universe" if it is not already taken. I'm curious to read more about string theory, though I believe I have seen the television adaptation of this book.
