bookshelves: didn-t-finish

While the concept of Out Of My Later Years fascinates me, the execution did not. It's not the books fault. This is a collection of letters from the last years of Einstein's life. I realized after starting this that while I know Einstein's name I don't know much about his life. My ignorance made this book confusing since Einstein wasn't writing to the uneducated masses of the future. He was writing to the people of his own time on issues they would be familiar with. I might come back to this book later, but in the meantime I'm going to read a biography.

Lisa Thank you, I found your review helpful in my decision to buy, or not, this book. I think I'll check it out at the library, after I've read up on the man. ;)
