"Already!" cry millions who own a Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, iPad, Kobo, or other e-reader.from John Timpane: Philadelphia Inquirer: E-readers are on the rise thanks to older readers

As he promises, Wouk presents Feynman with less of an argument than a general feeling: (1) religion and science are unified by the fact of human wonder; at least to this extent, they speak a common language. (2) Wonder implies that we do not and cannot know everything. (3) In light of the beautiful, mind-escaping cosmos around us, working in languages we can use but not understand fully, it is at least a reasonable stance to hear a unifying presence speaking, one deeply implicated in the good, the beautiful, and the just.
Wouk gently warns Feynman that egotism cannot stop all holes.
