impressive. more so is the fact that you remember the list.

I probably remember the titles of about 10% of books that I have read.

p.s I can give some good recommendations in science books
from my collection.

check out Brian Green's books, also Richard Dawkins.
also Richard Feynman (I have six of his books and he is funny)

When I like a book/author, I generally buy it. I am now too lazy to go the library.

These are the ones I have in my personal library. These are a good
mixture of technical stuff an humor.
  1. Surely you must be joking Mr. Feynman
  2. What Do You Care What Other People Think
  3. QED - Strange theory of light and matter
  4. Six easy pieces
  5. Six not so easy pieces
  6. The Character of physical law
