Re: The Fantastic Mr Feynman
I have a copy of Feynman's book 'What Do You Care What Other People Think?', it's an excellent read and the title, I think, is good advice

Indeed, and if you haven't already read it, then "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character, to which the above is a sequel, is, if anything, even better.

Re: The Fantastic Mr Feynman
And if anyone is interested, there is an excellent exhibition in the new Singapore Science Museum with a fascinating couple of lectures he gave whilst on a visit to a New Zealand Uni (I forget which). I spent a wonderful 3 hours or so there when I was in Singapore a couple of months ago.
They may well be on YouTube but I have not checked.

Thank you. Everyone please listen to those YouTube lectures. They are wonderful and on the whole not that difficult to follow.

Re: The Fantastic Mr Feynman
Thanks for posting the links for the lectures, unfortunatley I missed them when last in Sing. I have been fan of RF since reading his first autobiog about 30 odd years ago. I would recommend the books "Richard Feynman and modern physics" by James Gleick and "No ordinary genius" for a more in depth look at his fascinating life.
