"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" - the life of the Nobel-prize winner, physicist Feynman - very funny and cynical. Whether it an autobiography can be judged from the preface: Here is an electronic version!

I just wondered.. Am I also "everything else"? :D If yes, than I think that we agreed well that Russians are OK. (I wonder what Russians think on the above statement :D) I think also that Dreams Of My Russian Summers could be an easy read (hopefully enjoyable?)

Hmm, it's not polite to point with a finger, but the comment came in this thread :) Anyways it's just for fun, so don't take it too seriously :cool:

Hi, It was pointed out here that "mainly women own Suzanne Vega music". I wonder what you'd say :cool:

Nice try ;) But I will not tell you whether I am a woman or a man. In this forum I recall one MUST specify the gender so I did it with a 50% probability :) Hm, Suzanne Vega... I was writing my dissertation, and the only stuff I could listen to was female voices. Helped to concentrate...

Wow, what an old post! How did you manage to dig it out? ;) Anyways, I like Harry Harrison, his Deathworld series about Jason dinAlt and his advantures on planet Pyrrus. Really good book, very military but with a great philosophy behind!

How do you manage to read and post at the same time ?! :p You have 36 minutes left, anyway ;)

He-He, 1st of April starts here in 1hour 13 minutes! :D Are we there yet with Bovary?

I am in the middle of my first Murakami novel, "Kafka on the shore". It reads smoothly and it different from any literature I've read till now. Now, I've been through an argument whether Murakami is a US author writing for a western reader. This brought me to read many articles and...

I don't know... I met some people who read Dan Brown (and that's it) so it did not go too far (even not as a spouse. Just friends). I simply could not get it out of my mind. I found myself openly mocking these people. I do value in a person the ability to read a lot and everything. May be...

I never know who are those crazy enthusiast who do this type of art, for free, but I love it! So I decided to share some culture with you: click here for some culture :) (press "play" :)

Me too... But people here are either too shy or too lazy... People, are you lazy?

I just talk to some russian guys. They actually say that the better novel of Solzhenitsyn is "The First Circle ". As to "Gulag Archipelago", they warned me that it is not a "literature" as such, it reads rather like many documents collected together - for instance "Mr. Petrov, nr. XXX...

Thanks, Kenny. I will investigate further. I like Indian culture, but this part of the culture I don't respect.

First, I did not say it was two weeks. It was looooonger and it will continue soon. Second, I do not see how you, a painter, are not sensitive to what you see outside and what you see on the screen. Is it a white balance :D ? I just say - if you are a good actor, if you know to dance, if...

Since when "good looking" means "less dark"?! THIS is what annoys me! It hearts!

Same here. When I go to concerts, its the same. So I need first to listen to a record a couple of time and then to go to a concert to fully appreciate the music.

I mean, I crossed it from east to west, from Orissa to Rajastan. I've spent hours in a train, in planes, in Rickshaws. Typical Indian do not look like Shah Rukh Khan. Or like Hrithik Roshan: What you won't see in a movie, is a typical Indian (typical photos taken by a traveler in...

I've been to India some time ago, and in almost every hostel we had a TV in our room. What completely irked :eek: me in the movies: the actors do not look Indians! Outside the door, in the streets - you see noisy, colorful, smelly, dirty India. You put on an Indian movie- white people...

You are lucky... You retire and go traveling... If I were retiring in Britain, I'd take a book by some English writer whom I like (Dickens?) and would follow to places described in his books. Or I would do the boating trip up the river Thames, following Jerome K. Jerome - but I guess it...
