• Another Side Of Einstein 10 February, 2008
Einstein is good for more than complicated equations. This book shows that he is able to balance the logical and the philosophical. Even though this was written decades ago, Einstein's take on America and world is spot-on. Much of what he warned could happen has happened. Deep.

• The Hobo Philosopher 09 August, 2008
At $5.99, I would say this book is for free. Albert Einstein says more in one sentence than other intelligent writers can say in 10 pages. There is so much thought in this book that it boggles the mind. As I read the book, I found myself doing more thinking than reading. After each line or paragraph, I would find myself laying the book in my lap and thinking about what Albert just said. There is not one essay in this book that does not have something important to say and think about. On occasion I cautioned myself that if I did not stop thinking on every line, it could be possible that I would never finish reading this book.And as I sit here now, I feel that I should go get it out of my library and read it once again. I am left with no doubt that Albert Einstein was a very good man. To say that he was very intelligent is silly. But he was not just intelligent in his pursuit of science. He was a very practical philosopher and social thinker. He was a moralist. His views of God and the universe are thought provoking.He is interesting on every level and on all subjects. There is no doubt about this one - this is a great book.

• If You Really Want To Know What Einstein Said Read This Book 09 July, 2007
Einstein's ideas about religion are here in his own words so you don't have to trust does who want to distort them to their own convenience.
These book is writen in a very easy to understand way because as Einstein himself stated "if something can be explained then it can be explained clearly.
The ideas he clearly explains are brilliant and they are about a lot of the things he was interested in his life.

I like the book, but didn't realize the print would be so small! I can hardly read it.

• Something To Read Before You Live This World 16 July, 2008
This is a very enlightening read. It takes you into the mind of a absolutely brilliant man to see his "ideas and opinions", sorry for the pun.
Honestly, i wasnt expecting a collection of his letters/speeches/lectures..etc but it was a nice surprise. It's much better than having some author display how they 'assumed' he thought.
The book can be tough to read at times (keep in mind he is a genius) but you can always search for certain topics that interest you. Everything from his theories of relativity and brownian motion to his family life are covered, so every reader could find something to relate to.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in first-hand ideas about Einstein or anyone looking to expand their mind.
