Book - The Pleasure of Finding Things Out (Richard Feynman).
Overview: The best short works of Nobel Prize
winning physicist, Richard Feynman. It includes lectures on all different branches of
physics and the role he played in the Manhattan Project, as well as talks and interviews with
other scientists and journalists.
Why I love it: That book was definitely more
of a challenge than Bridget Jones, but I love that
kind of stuff! Science is awesome and Feynman was known for his ability to communicate science effectively to the general public.
Check out his lectures on Youtube.

Why I love it: Dave Lamb’s commentary is hilarious.
Film – Heartbreaker
Overview: A French film with Andrew Lincoln
from The Walking Dead. It’s about a guy who
breaks up couples for a living if one of the couple isn’t happy. Sounds odd, but it works.
