Don't You Ever Read Anything But Serious Books? Volume 3

I perhaps felt that I wasn't getting anywhere. But I intended to consult my notes on these theoretical and semi-technical explanations, in future, to acquire a good understanding.
I never did consult any of my notes. They just accumulated in thick bound diaries, on a shelf; the very sight of them, an embarrassment to me.
I thought perhaps I might have put all that unused note-paper to some better use, tho I could not keep a diary, to even keep myself, as Mae West recommended.
My first volume covered mainly the decade of the nineteen seventies, and early eighties, charting some of the greats; largely established writers from earlier decades.
The second volume covered largely then up-to-date interpretive psychology, no doubt put in the shade now by neuro-science. But it was psychology with a human face. This was mainly the decade of the eighties and early nineties.
This Volume 3 featured popular physics of the nineties and noughties. PCW Davies was the back-bone of this effort, tho I had practically done with my limited understanding of his popularisations by the end of the eighties. He would continue to publish prolifically.
Most of the advanced work was beyond me. And I attempted more than I could understand. Myself, the editor of these researched books is not an authority on them but a learner, sometimes a very imperfect learner. This is the fault or limitation of the editor, not of the authors of these many books, more or less studied, in his third volume of a life-times serious reading.
