Your excitement has gotten me interested in Krauss.

If you've got any coins left, I'd highly recommend Brian Greene's "Fabric of the Cosmos".

Hi Craig,

I got The Fifth Essence: The Search for Dark Matter in the Universe, Atom: An Odyssey from the Big Bang to Life on Earth...and Beyond (which I'm fairly certain is his newest book) and The Physics of Star Trek (thought it could be interesting and humorous). I watched one lecture yesterday with Krauss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Imvl...eature=related which was posted on here yesterday followed by a conversational show between himself and Richard Dawkins about evolution etc and I'm sold, instant fan girl

He's in Australia at the moment promoting Science Week but he's not visiting Brisbane

I'll definitely add Greene's book to my list, I'm pretty sure I saw it there. I found this amazing secondhand book store in Brisbane city so I think I'll be heading back there very soon
