Not a great many people can understand everything said in this book. Penrose goes very in depth with each subject, filling over 1,000 pages. Most of the book is set on quantum physics

A very good and easy to understand introduction to modern cosmology. If you're even slightly interested in cosmology I really suggest you read this book.

Very easy.

Just read the wiki article for it. Should be easy enough for me. I'll put it on my "To Read" list!
