Just received this in the mail from fellow bookcrosser in Philly. Thanks! Not sure how "easy" this one will be, but I'm willing to make the attempt! Feynman is an interesting character.
A challenging read, but so well written for those of us with only a layman's background in physics. Feynman is a modern genius! And this book generated some fascinating discussion with my father, the engineer.
I'll be passing this on to a fellow bookcrosser shortly.

I am going to start this book this evening -- all right! The *very first* book I've ever gotten as a bookcrosser!
I will confess -- it was the first book I ever received as a book crosser, and it is the first I've completely given up on. I think of myself as relatively brainy, phi beta kappa, ivy league graduate degree, etc.; and I've read a fair number of popular science books. However, I've come to the conclusion I'm too stupid to have ever made it at CalTech -- this was supposed to be the basic, introductory lectures, and I got completely lost.
Sending it off to another BC'er at his request -- I hope he finds it more accessible.

Thanks CPetersky — I look forward to reading it!
Picked it up today at the meetup in Regensburg. Heard a lot of good things about Mr.Feynman so I'm looking forward to it! I just hope it's not too high up there for me to grasp. We'll see...Thanks to rdv and cliff!
