Well, my tastes in reading lean 95% towards sci/fan, and the other 5% are either historical fiction or popular science. So while I appreciate the effort you made to make the suggestion, I'm afraid I likely won't follow it. :-P
Whenever someone tells me "you're so smart b/c you do physics" I always scoff at them b/c when it comes to things like history, current events, politics, or economics I'm really not "smart" at them - and much of it is just from complete lack of interest. I feel I know enough in those subjects to get by, and enough to know when something big's going on that I should ask about, and that's enough for me.
