Feynman | 
I had to bail on that insipid mess, ‘One Good Deed‘ and I‘ve picked this backlist up instead: A biography of Richard O. Feynman done in the GN format by Jim Ottaviani with artwork by Leland Myrick.
The quote above appears on the front cover and is “from Lucille Feynman, his mother, after *Omni* magazine named Richard Feynman the world‘s smartest man...” 😂
pickThis was a fun biography; my favorite part was when his lectures were (finally) illustrated. In my opinion it too too long to get to the science. I don‘t think Feynman‘s flirtations/womanizing age well, but the portrait of his first wife was lovely, and he seemed to hold scientists in high regard without consideration of gender. The illustrations were a bit bland and hard to follow at times; many people weren‘t distinctive!
One of the main purposes of this book was to illustrate quantum physics theory in pictures. Did you understand it? Was it easy to understand?
I did not know that Feynman was a father of nano technologies before reading this book. Did you have any discoveries for yourself? Do you understand physics? Do you like this science?
Richard and Joan had a wonderful brother-sister relationship. He taught her science and she brought him back to physics when he had a crisis. Later in the book we found out that Feynman gave her a word never interfered in her job. But Wouldn‘t it be a great collaboration for science if they combine their minds? Does it sound like a lost possibility for new discoveries? Lets speculate 🗣
Why does Feynman have trouble returning to civilization? Do you think he wanted to return?
Feynman‘s safecrackering exploits turn on luck, and this is the one the most famous stories about him, where his reputation officially blossoms. How do you think this affected his later life and the legends that build up around him? Do you think he actively sought out situations like that which would add to his reputation?
Good morning ☀️ let‘s start our discussion with a traditional question did you like the book? What do you think about art? How did you like panels and colors?
Tomorrow we will be discussing Feynman by Jim Ottaviani. You still have a chance to join us❤️ please do.
Here is a Kindle link https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CVNLK3K/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=152787... for $11.99
Feynman had a very intriguing personality. His physics lectures looked more like shows. Bill Gates called him the best teacher that I never had. Check out Gates‘ short video here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WOoJh6oYAXE
Repost for @LitsyGetsGraphic :
Reason #8 why should you read Feynman.
There is a short course about quantum physics in the book. It was a big goal for the scientist to explain quantum physics in such way that it will be understandable even for a child.
Discussion starts on 6/2.
If you could not find a copy in your library there are some options: Barnes and Nobles has copies starting at $5; Amazon has copies for $3; Kindle edition is $11.99
I really am spoiled by having a library across the street from my place of work. I can just walk over to pick up my holds during a break. 😄
Today‘s #libraryhaul is a #litsygetsgraphic pick. Looking forward to discussing this on 6/2 (can‘t believe June is basically here already!!)
Hey Littens!
How was your long weekend? 🇺🇸
Any graphic novels read? 📚
Did you receive your copy of Feynman graphic novel?
Did you start reading it? Please do not ignore our questions we are really curious 👀👀
Do not forget discussion starts on 6/2
Check this TED talk out “My friend Richard Feynman” here https://www.ted.com/talks/leonard_susskind_my_friend_richard_feynman/up-next
that is very funny, entertaining and give you more insides

The reason #7️⃣ to read Feynman graphic novel by Jim Ottaviani.
Once gifted always gifted!!!
This is art by Richard Feynman he started drawing at the age of 44😱😱😱. He exchanged lessons with his friend in art and science. It is not sure that his friend understood science clearly by Feynman went on draw until the end of his life.

Why you should read Feynman?
Reason #6️⃣
This is Joan Feynman, Richard‘s sister. She is an astrophysicist, who made an important contribution to the study of solar wind, Sun-Earth relations and physics as well. She had to fight with her family for right to pursuing science (her mother was strictly against it and only Richard understood her). Mr. Feynman made a pact with his sister that he would never interfere in her work.
Discussion in 6/2
Reason #5️⃣ to read Feynman with us:
Mr. Feynman was a practical joker. He cracked every safe in the Manhattan project‘s office what was mentioned in a real memo as a possible security breach 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 but he did it just for fun

Reason #4️⃣ why you should read our next graphic novel about Richard Feynman:
He was very, very attractive❤️😍❤️ after a tragic death his first wife and before he found his true love again he had many girlfriends including (but not limited to) universities personal, waitress, stewardesses, wives of colleagues 😱😱😱

Enjoy your reading ❤️
📣📣📣 Meet our next read Feynman by Jim Ottaviani📣📣📣
Why should you read it?
1️⃣The main reason, that after this book you will know quantum physics theory and probably you can explain how it works.
2️⃣ Feynman was an amazing and very talented man. He was interested in everything from Japanese language and art to nano physics.
3️⃣He was one of the researchers in the Manhattan project.

so-soI am glad that I read this book and found out a lot of curious and wonderful things about this scientist. Feynman was full of talents: incredible teacher, artist, and scientist who had told jokes. Unfortunately, I cannot give this biography more than 3 stars. Many characters are indistinguishable (same colors, same face features), many blanks (to fill them you should check out Surely You Are Joking), QED theory is not clear even in graphics(((
