I have read his books.  In fact, I met him.  I spent a month at a summer  
institute which he also attended, and he lived across the street from me with 
 his family.  He was an incredible person.   His insight into the physical  
world was extraordinary, and his way of thinking truly original and creative. 
  He was also a certified character, which comes thru in those books too.  
Part  of the latter was a deliberate act.
