This quote by the amazing physicist Richard Feynman, who also won the 1965 Nobel Prize, got me all hooked-up on a soon-to-be one of my most favorite books: "What do you care what other people think?". Most embarrassingly, I had not heard of him up-until yesterday, when I was reading up on a topic in real analysis posted on some math forum!
Now, it's sort of like an autobiography I can relate to in an interesting way! it's also kinda like when your dad tells random, interesting stories of back when he was young, or rather like when a good friend's sharing their past in a fun way, as it doesn't have the tone of an elderly ... Anyways, I think it's a must-read and I am NOT going to spoil it.
It can be easily downloaded off gigapedia, but if you have access to a hard-copy (i.e. you're not currently in some doomed country like where I am right now, where access to almost anything is impossible), I would definitely recommend you purchase the book. I'm personally planning to purchase it as soon as I get a chance. I really only downloaded it for a sneak-preview and ended-up reading about half of it already! I hope I can find it at Schiphol, so I get to read it on my way back, but I doubt this be the kinda book one would be able to find at an airport bookstore.
