No, this is not a blog post of full disclosure or anything (sorry, but come back later), but just one to note* that -to my delight and amusement- Nick Evans’ free physics+sex+murder novel (that I told you about a while back) has now been pointed out in the Times Higher Education Supplement (no less). There’s a few choice (shall we say) quotes from Nick there, bringing up matters/phrases I never thought I’d see in the THES. You trailblazer, Nick!
I still have not read it yet, but people seem to like it. And Nick is apparently thinking of working on a sequel. (Have a look at it at this link.)

Best all-time Feynman quote—“Physics is like sex. Sure, it may give some practical results, but that’s not why we do it..”
‘The Newtonian Legacy’ was certainly an entertaining read! I am currently reading ‘Please, Mr Einstein’. The description on the cover is that it is a novel to make you fall in love with Physics and Philosophy. I’m only half way through, but am finding it fascinating. Even in translation, it reads very well, and as a non-scientist, I’m finding it a very engaging way to become more familiar with Einstein’s thinking.
