Fellow book lovers,
Since you so dearly loved the previous list of book recommendations (3 Novels on Faith & Science), I humbly present another. Here are 3 fiction books related to science! Happy reading!
1. Origin by Dan Brown
On the brink of a world-changing announcement, the assassination of a renowned scientist leads symbologist and professor Dr. Robert Langdon to hunt (and be hunted) for the truth. He is accompanied by two loveable sidekicks: a museum director and a human-like AI. With gripping prose, twisty narrative, and interwoven education on all-things Spain, this thriller shines for its impressive dialogue on the interplay between science and faith.
“Well, science and religion are not competitors, they’re two different languages trying to tell the same story. There’s room in this world for both.”
2. My Side of the Mountain by Jean George
Ever dream of running away from home, hiding in the mountains, and living inside a hollow tree? Join Sam as he lives with, hunts, and befriends the wild animals of his new neighborhood, learning all the while to survive “alone” in nature.
“I can only say that after living so long with the birds and animals, the movement of a human is like the difference between the explosion of a cap pistol and a cannon.”
3. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Monster hunting, deadly explosions, psychotic ship captains, and submarine piracy… This underwater odyssey is required reading for any SCUBA diver. Watch author Jules Verne’s outdated taxonomies be overcome by his strangely accurate sci-fi predictions of modern maritime technology. How could I not mention this classic?
“It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite.”
Have you read any of these before? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
