The two books 'by' Feynman (they were written from interviews with an author who's name escapes me, IIRC) and the compilation of his letters are great. And if you want something more hardcore, you can check out his physics lectures. There's a biography of Dirac that I read this year and liked ("The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom by Graham Farmelo").

Maybe we're happy and shiny because people expect us to be somber and sad. That's pretty contrary ;)

And happy winter solstice too! :)

Now that's out of the box!

Hey everybody, Just a quick note to thank everybody who contributes to this forum. Sincerely, I really want to thank you. I know you could fill canyons with what I don't know about investing, but I want to always keep learning, and I feel like this is a great place to do that. I absolutely love how so many people will refine ideas over time, bouncing off each other's input and researching countless facets of an investment thesis. This place is like a Viennese coffee shop in the 1800s or something! It's like a great book that you can never finish reading, and you can ask the author directly when you have questions! This is really a special community, and a lot of credit for that belongs to Parsad, our benevolent leader. But while he's the necessary foundation, we have so many great contributors; thank you! :)

Thanks.

Thanks, I added it to the list. At first I expected this to be just a 'halo effect' thing, but I think they've got a great list of people, and just any info about their career should be very interesting, so I'll def. pick it up at some point.
