Feynman's Rainbow
Read this book called Feynman's Rainbow: A Search for Beauty in Physics and in Life by Leonard Mlodinow. Nice book, a biographical account of Feynman by a fellow caltech post-doc. Feynman apparently took great pride in doing something his way and would never be bothered by how the world viewed it. His personality however ensured that his genius was never viewed with a tinge of eccentricity.

Shouldnt that be 'always viewed as eccentric'.
As a student of Physics I learnt a lot from Feynman's Lectures on Physics than from my Mom (A Doctorate in the same subject). He discusses how small the size of a lens in an insect's compound eye using graphs and graphs are the same as the EOQ graphs that we saw during Production I.
