Einstein: His life and universe
« on: June 28, 2008, 01:03:22 AM »
I picked up Einstein: His life and universe at the airport. It's a biography (apparently the first since all of his papers have been made available). So far it's great.. well written and of course an interesting subject. You definitely have to be a bit of a geek to enjoy it but I'm loving every minute of it so far.

I never got into biographies :dunno: I think the only one I read cover to cover was about this Polish rock singer Kazik Kazik

This is the first biography I've read. I get bored pretty easy with fiction, this is a nice alternative.

I've slowed down a little cause I've been busy. I'm about half way through now. It's just crazy to read about how he goes against everything everybody thinks they know for sure and comes up with his own theories... then sticks to them for the YEARS that it takes everyone else to come around and realize how genius they are.
