>I tried reading Nature a few times but it's too dry & technical, & many of the articles didn't interest me as much. I love my sciences but I still wish to enjoy the experience of good writing too.

Nature I've heard good things about, a lot of important papers published there... But havent read it... Physical Review good too, but they charge for looking at their papers...

I like my lit. with a good mixture of pop. sci with not too much simplification to confuse the theory... Thats the problem w/ someone like Steven Hawkings... He is NOT a very good pop sci writer... I mean, as far as a lot of the physics people I've come across, they feel that he does more harm than good as far as confusing people... He simplifies too much...

Oh, yes, and if you are wondering why he's never gotten a nobel prize for physics its because all of his theorems are theoretical and not able to be tested w/ experiment... thats the stipulation for a nobel prize...
