Should I mention that His Dark Materials is a trilogy? I wonder what that would do to the results if people had read, say, only The Golden Compass and couldn't make it through the other two?

I read a different Feynman book, does that count? =)

Oops, I didn't think of that. Oh well.

Which Feynman book? I've only read the one.

Ooo, I was afraid you'd ask that. Um...it was many years ago...when I was still in school...ah, Amazon tells me that it was Genius: The Life & Science of Richard Feynman by James Gleick. So not a Feynman book at all. Oops. :-\

It's okay, I've read all three!

Les Jeux Sont Faits, Jean-Paul Sartre

I have to say that I cannot read or hear the phrase, "les jeux sont faits", without thinking of Casablanca!

I've only read one from the entire list. I guess I have unique taste in reading material.

How was Philosophical Concepts in Physics?

I liked it a lot, mainly because it was a perfect reference for the research project I was doing at the time. If you're interested in history and philosophy of science, I'd say it's well worth the read. ;)
