The Jazz of Physics: The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe | 
pickThe material in this book was very interesting, and was best conveyed to me through the analogies and jazz references. Most of the equations lost me, but even without a background in physics or music theory I still greatly enjoyed reading this

pickPart memoir and part physics explainer, this book uses music to explain how physicists view the universe. Explores topics as distinct as the macrostructure of galaxies, how the universe has expanded since the big bang, and the quantum view of electrons. Also talks about the jazz greats and their approach to improvisation, especially Coltrane. Highly recommended for anyone in your life who likes music and is curious about the universe.
bailedInteresting topic, decent writing, but I was so bored. Reading a chapter felt like hard work.
