infinitely long
I finally finished "Everything and More" a compact history of infinity by David Foster Wallace.
it was a tough read and I didn't get it all, but I got some of it and that was cool.
It was one of those books that I can only read like two pages a day. I'm glad I slugged through it all though including all of the footnotes which I think outweigh the text by a bit.
What's up next on the geek read parade you ask? No you didn't? well I'm gonna tell you anyways.
It's called Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track The Letters of Richard P. Feynman. Edited by Michelle Feynman.
I've only read the introduction and I'm really excited about this book. She talks about how much different it is from other books about/by Feynman.
It's also in small chunks so picking it up and putting it down will be easy.

Perfectly Reasonable... is great. It presents a side of Feynman you don't see in his biography or his stories about himself. He was very good at being an asshole when he wanted to (which I find an admirable trait).
