I like history of science best of all.

As for science, my favorite book of all times is Carl Sagan's "Cosmos." Just excellent and the enormity of the scale in which he painted the universe just really impressed me.

One of the parts that sticks in my memory was the comparison of grains of sands of all the beaches of the world, on the ocean bottom, or in deserts to the number of stars in the universe. Which numbered more?

I was quite surprised that the stars numbered more considering there are a lot of grains of sand here on Earth.

Who else has read "Cosmos"?
