"Cosmology" can be described, briefly, as Ayn Rand's "sense of life," or to paraphrase Marcus Aurelius, to know what the universe is, who you are, and what your place is in the universe as you understand it to be.
Every character in "Moby Dick" says something cosmological almost every time he opens his mouth, including the preacher who climbs the pulpit before Ahab goes out looking for the great whale.
What are some books like this one that are your favorites?

That's great, sofa king, but there is nothing cosmological about "Jaws."
Rational: I may read that first book you listed, thanks for the tip.
