The book this week is "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" by Richard P. Feynman. It's a bunch of anecdotal stories told by Richard Feynman (as you may have guessed) who is a Nobel Prize winning physicist. I can't remember why I picked this book up in the first place but I'm glad I did. It's really rather funny. There are a few times that he talks about things that are beyond me but they are really not the important part of the story so I just kind of ignore them and everything is fine.
The sentence:
Now I didn't want to interrupt them in their own conversation and keep asking them to explain something, and on the few occasions that I did, they'd try to explain it to me, but I still didn't get it.
This was when he decided to sit with the philosophers instead of the physicists just to see what other people were talking about. He is a very interesting man.
