Re: [Phys-l] Feynman Letters



I must limit my book buying as it's a marriage prob. However, if Strange Beauty is still at Half Price Books (~ $6) I'll risk it.

bc, whose spouse regrets informing him of 1/2 Price.

Hi all,

I noticed that there is a new book on Feynman's letters called "Don't You Have Time to Think". I already have "Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track" book containing Feynman letters. I wonder if the books have the same content. Has anyone read both of them?
I enjoyed very much reading the Beaten track book although it is always a bit ackward to read someone's personal letters. I noticed that the abovementioned book contains a Feynman letter written to Leigh Palmer, a Phys-L member!

I just finished reading a book on Gell-Mann ("Strange beauty"). It was interesting too and addressed Feynman on several occasions. The book raised a question of which one was smarter (Gell-Mann or Feynman); it left the question unanswered :-).


Best wishes,

Antti
