Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten Track: The Letters of Richard P. Feynman Audiobook

" New layers of the Feynman persona are revealed here! A very vivid philosophy comes into a more personal perspective, an intimate and touching read. "

" I am addicted to Feynman. Everything about him, everything he writes, anything about his life its a total addiction! Can't get enough. Surely your Joking Mr. Feynman was still the best though. "

" Very good read. I always like a new oppurunity to learn more about this curious character. However, something about this book felt wrong. Some of those letters should never have been made public. "

" As usual Richard Feynman's quirky, completely down-to-brass tacks thinking amazes and intrigues me. Never a dull moment when you're reading Feynman, be it an epic series of lectures on Physics or anything related to his life, which in itself is a huge experiment. Inspired. "

" One of my favourite books. So sweet and smart and funny and wise. The finest Feynman book I know. "

" Viel tegen in vergelijking met zijn "Surely...". "

" Very interesting way to see into the world of Feynman. A far more polite character than I would have imagined! "

" Actually listened to the book, but the hardcover has a picture of the book, the audio book does not. Quite enjoyable. "

" What a cool dude. I happened upon this book on my dad's shelf and it gave me giggles and chuckles, And it made me cry big dripping tears that landed in fat globs on the page. Feynman was awesome. "

" After reading through Feynman's letter I feel like I have a better sense of him and it makes his other writings more meaningful (sort of a "rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead" for his other works). It's a great read. "

" Wonderful book. It's impossible for anything Feynman-related to be bad. "

" great character, smart, humble. "

" An interesting insight into the personal life as well as communication skills of Richard Feynman in the age when written letters were prevalent. Repetitive at a few places but a fun read overall "

" While many of Feynman's books are "for show," I feel like these letters allow one to get a better insight into Feynman's true personality and philosophy. "

" Collection of letters to and from Richard Feynman. I liked his enthusiasm for physics and the advice and encouragement he gives to young students. "

" A good book - you're ultimately reading the emails (well... so-called "letters" back then) of a genius. It does get a bit long, however, as it includes several unnecessary logistical letters. The ones where he goes on about science, theories, and philosophies are incredible, though. "

" An amazing story of one man's life through everything from love until death. "

" brilliant scientist under the mistaken impression he had a personality "

" This has a whole lot of Richard's letter, some very personal to his dying wife who had TB and some very funny. I like Feynman. "

" Interesting collection of letters from one of physics' greatest. "

" So far this making my commute to work zip by (I'm listening to an audiotape). "

" Some really nice moments in amongst this collection of letters to and from Feynman, particularly the ones where he talks about how you should go about doing science. The answer, apparently, is to do whatever the hell you want, and only what you want. Sweet! I'm in. "

" Hilarious and filled with anecdotes on his illustrious life. Particularly hilarious dismantling of the national academy of sciences and it's relative merits. "

" One of my favourite books. So sweet and smart and funny and wise. The finest Feynman book I know. "

" An entertaining book that was not only very informative and intriguing, but moving as well. I look forward to reading his other publications. "

" After reading through Feynman's letter I feel like I have a better sense of him and it makes his other writings more meaningful (sort of a "rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead" for his other works). It's a great read. "

" Collection of letters to/from Feynman, edited by his daughter. Some bits interesting, other bits pretty tedious; expect every reader will find different bits interesting though. "

" Very interesting way to see into the world of Feynman. A far more polite character than I would have imagined! "

" Collection of letters to and from Richard Feynman. I liked his enthusiasm for physics and the advice and encouragement he gives to young students. "

" This has a whole lot of Richard's letter, some very personal to his dying wife who had TB and some very funny. I like Feynman. "

" A great, yet sometimes sad, book of Feynman's letters. His first wife had tuberculosis and eventually died, and there are many letters from this period. "

" So far this making my commute to work zip by (I'm listening to an audiotape). "

" New layers of the Feynman persona are revealed here! A very vivid philosophy comes into a more personal perspective, an intimate and touching read. "

" A different format, but no less Feynman. A good read. "
