In another thread, Swimmy and I were discussing Orwell's 1984 and Koestler's Darkness at Noon, as well as Ray Bradbury's "Farenheit 451" and Ira Levin's "This Perfect Day" (my favorite of the 1984 genre.
That brought memories of non-fiction I had enjoyed in my college days. Remember Darkness At Noon? Well, yes, it was fiction, sort of. Also, one of the best books early in my reading career was Koestler's "The Sleepwalkers," a wonderful treat of astronomy and ideas. He also wrote a boigraphy of Kepler, "The Watershed." Has anyone read it? I don't think I have.
