Given the fact that I see many #science people around here I am gonna tell you that the Feynman books (Lectures on Physics) were one of my favourites back in university. I still like coming back to them every time I have the chance to.

@virogo I know I will never be able to play golf or manage the math needed to understand quantum chromodynamics. I’m irked about equally by these personal shortcomings. But I do own a Folio Soc. (!) editon of Feynman’s Six Easy Pieces and Six Not-So-Easy Pieces (with an intro by Roger Penrose) that are basically selections from the Leighton/Sands transcripts. I managed the first half without too much trouble...
@pwgallagher Wow, that's so cool! The edition looks really great! Also, I am still studying math stuff and oh man, they really are a pain in the ass ;)
