I thought that this clip from Carl Sagan's hugely popular 'Cosmos' series would interest people.

Carl Sagan inspired many people in different spheres: he was an astrophysicist, a searcher for alien intelligence (he helped found SETI), and obviously a lover of books.

I love this: ''Books break the shackles of time’’ says Carl Sagan. ‘’The trick’’, he says, ‘’is knowing which books to read’’.
