Since you're done with Short History, you should check out A Brief History of Time. I think he explains it (and everything else) in greater detail there. I'd recommend the illustrated version: http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Brief-History-Updated-Expanded/dp/0553103741


Here's a little something to whet your appetite before then: http://freeonlinedocumentary.com/a-brief-history-of-time/

Oh also, by Stephen Hawking The Illustrated A Brief History of Time

It's really dense stuff, so you need the illustrated version for sure. But's it's soooo interesting

They eventually revised it in a hardcover with illustrations that match Nutshell https://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Brief-History-Updated-Expanded/dp/0553103741

I imagine his books are going to see a surge in sales this week. Would be a great book to give to a kid interested in this stuff.

I've heard nothing but awesome things about A Day In The Frontal Lobe from people who love reading and love neuroscience. It's one of my next planned reads.

Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time was a good read and the illustrated version was awesome.

If you want something a little lighter with an easy writing style and low base knowledge entry 13 Things That Don't Make Sense is good and fun to read.

If you want a relatively intense read, but not that difficult altogether, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time is a great read for cosmological science and theoretical physics (general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, string theory, etc.)

You may also want to read The History of God and Why We Believe What We Believe.

I have found some of my best reading by checking the bibliography of books with ideas that I really enjoyed and then reading the books that were referenced there.

The hardest thing for many people is replacing a feeling of certainty with a feeling of uncertainty. You may want to read Steven Hawking's Brief History of Time.

Some basic introductions to philosophy would not go amiss either. People have been tackling the "big questions" in much the same way, throughout all of history. There are not as many new ideas as there are old ideas, rehashed. Learn something about the history of human thought, it is pretty fascinating and will help you figure out what you think.
