Hello all,
I'm going to be studying abroad next semester in Budapest,
Hungary, and thinking ahead for the 10+ hour plane ride I'm going to
have (along with loads of downtime the first week or so), I was
wondering if anyone could suggest an interesting math or physics book I
could read during that time. I'm not looking for any kind of textbook
or anything here, but still something intelligent that I can pick up at
a Barnes & Noble or Borders or something along those lines. I've seen
the book "Not Even Wrong" by Peter Woit a couple of places, has anyone
been fortunate enough to read that yet?
Any input / suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I enjoyed reading ``"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" .
He writes about visiting his first wife, or fiancee, in
hospital; a lot about the Manhattan project; how he
was stumped when trying to get "within a factor of 10"
tan(10^100) [ he used to guesstimate the numerical answer to
various physical very well ] ; playing drums.
