Sure, I had read the Outlander books and loved them, but as DianaG Herself likes to say … those are prettyy genre-bending, and throwing them into Historical Fiction/Romance is not easy or advisable (if you want to keep all your limbs at the next Outlander fan event anyway). I didn’t even know I liked historical romance before I read The Bronze Horseman. *I read everything without pants, not just Shura. Come at me with recommendations for epic historical romance and I will ask you one question: “On a scale of zero to Lazarevo, how much like The Bronze Horseman is it?” Because you can tell me there’s a Duke, there’s war time separation, there’s angst across time, but if there is no Shura on the potato shelf, why am I bothering to read this pantless*?

We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love,” said William Shatner, whose often-emotional Captain Kirk was balanced by the composed Nimoy. The reaction to his death was swift, on Earth and in space. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory,” he wrote, followed by his customary “LLAP” signoff - shorthand for “Live long and prosper,” Spock’s catch phrase. His final public statement, last Sunday on Twitter, was thoughtful and bittersweet. Nimoy died Friday of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his Los Angeles home, with family at his side, said his son, Adam Nimoy. Nimoy had skillfully turned what could have been a caricature into a dignified, inspiringly intellectual and even touching figure, a half-human, half-Vulcan who was a multicultural and multiethnic touchstone, well before it was hip. … It always amazes me and touches me to discover how deeply the series affected so many people’s lives - people who chose careers in science, astronomy, space exploration, all because of one television show called Star Trek.” “And if I’m not listening to Spock’s voice, then I’m listening to the voices of those who know the Vulcan and consider him an old friend. “Not a day passes that I don’t hear that cool, rational voice commenting on some irrational aspect of the human condition.” “He’s a part of me,” he wrote in his second memoir. He was a fun-loving, charismatic practical joker who toured America on long road trips. In his 1993 biography Genius, James Gleick called Feynman “brash,” “ebullient” and “the most brilliant, iconoclastic and influential physicist of modern times.” Feynman captured the popular imagination when he played the bongo drums and sang about orange juice. Then there are magicians, and you can have no idea how they do it. Ordinary geniuses do great things, but they leave you room to believe that you could do the same if only you worked hard enough.

Early in his career, he contributed to the development of the first atomic bomb as a group leader of the Manhattan Project. As one of the most famous physicists of the 20th century, Richard Feynman was known for a lot. |
