This review has poked my interest and I want to read the whole book to know more about how these two scientists try to provide the real grand design of the cosmos or failed to explain what exactly is the grand design.
Currently, I am reading the book "A search in secret Egypt" by Dr. Paul Brunton the British philosopher and Yogi. This book is fascinating just like his other book " A search in secret India". In his travels, Brunton met with numerous yogis, mystics, mendicants, hypnotists and even magicians to find out the links between the self and the universe. In Egypt, Brunton had managed to spend a night alone inside the great pyramid. Brunton has captivated me through the simple narration of his experience and connecting the dots - self and the cosmos. Yet, the questions on why we are here and what lies beyond the universe remains a mystery.
This morning I looked at the rising sun's rays smiling through the oak tress in the backyard. The branches moved gently in the wind and the rays moved randomly creating multiple designs like a kaleidoscope. Undeterred by the wind or light, not worrying about the "Grand Design" or not I saw a squirrel focusing on the acorn on one of the branches.

Great Photo! I saw Hawking talking about his book. Perhaps I should tackle it. I'm also about to get Ken Follett's new novel about the 20th Century. It is, however, about 1000 pages.
