My Favorite Physicist

Physics is like sex. Sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

Have you read his books? What Do You Care What Other People Think? or Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! are both awesome books.

I've read Surely You're Joking.. but not the other. I don't own either, but should. I have a copy of Six Easy Pieces, which is a set of his lectures for freshmen at MIT. It was in a set that came with audio tapes. I wish the media was higher quality, but I won it in a weird contest at a place I worked, so I can hardly complain. I should record them so I can have a digital copy at some point, maybe.
