The Science Of Discworld por Terry Pratchett
An interesting idea and, after I got used to the odd flow of the Narrativium, it was one that worked well. Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the sequels.

Won't be reading another Pratchett book.

A better text on theory of science than most academic books.
