Sue Denim.. Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I can't think of any off the top of my head but after I read "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman, (A fantasy trilogy for teenagers requiring a bit more thought than Harry Potter.) I found a book called 'The Science of His Dark Materials' which explained (and proved possible) many of the things in the book from a scientific angle which was pretty educational.If you're into Dark Matter, Daemonology, Particle Physics etc, then this is the book for you.

Larsen B Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I find most novels educational in a way. Do you mean educational as in the strict academic definition of the word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neutral Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I find most novels educational in a way. Do you mean educational as in the strict academic definition of the word?I find all novels educational in a gramatical way at least but im talking about educational as in teaching you how to do things.An example of this would be - a law novel teaching you something about the law instead of going too indepth with lovey dovey stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
