    The filmed lectures are brilliant, and give a good idea what to expect in written form in some of his stuff.

    Its all CGI and platitudes these days.

    Six Easy Pieces, a very readable overview of physics in a passionate, concise style by a brilliant, very likeable character.

    And here's that lovely video with him singing, though its off-topic.

    'Six easy pieces' was just that.

    'Six not so easy pieces' was just that also, I had to read the sections over a few times but got there in the end... sort of.

    'Surely you're joking' is still on my shelf.

    I've just read 'Green Eggs and Ham'

    Actually I also hate that Sam I Am, and to be honest I'm fairly convinced that fella is going to get food poisoning off that dish especially due to the Health & Safety issues concerning they way Sam tries to serve it.

    I've got 'QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter' which is very good. He had a gift for explaining difficult concepts and making you feel clever because you got it.

    started a topic Anyone read any Feynman books?

    Anyone read any Feynman books?

    Been doing a bit of reading on parallel computing and due to his work at thinking computers I am tempted to pick up a copy of "What Do You Care What Other People Think?"

    Would really like to read about his critique on NASA with his time on the Rogers Commission which (I think) blames the failures of the group on non technical managers running technical people.

    Other than that he seems like an incredibly gifted person from his time working on the A-bomb right through to his part in building the connection machines.

    Anyone read any of his books?
Working...
