My favourite books

Happy Christmas! To celebrate I talk about some of the best things in the world - books!

I've been getting back in to reading recently after something of a break at university, but before uni I devoured books. These are some of my favourites, both past and present.

I'm posting amazon links below, but where possible please try to support your local book store and keep them in business :)

I am Simon, a third year PhD candidate at the University of Exeter. I upload videos on bits of science which are relevant to what I do, and sometimes just because they're really cool.
