Six Easy Pieces, by Richard Feynman

This book provides a taste of Fynman's lecture style. It comprises the six easiest chapters of his "Lectures on Physics."

I'm not sure I'd use the word easy to describe them. They are accessible, but for me, also fairly intense. I'd describe the book as one which requires access to unlimited espresso.

But I imagine it might have been really fun to be a physics student at CalTech during Feynman's tenure there (1952 - 1987).
