- I've seen a very positive review of it, though I haven't read it. But I
- really enjoyed his - very funny - autobiography - _Surely You're
- Joking, Mr. Feynman_, which, more than anything I've ever read,
- demonstrates the playful, anarchistic nature of science well done.
- This I want to read when I get a little time. After Xmas[???]. Let me know
- if you get to it.
