A Beautiful Mind

Sylvia Nasar

This book deals with the life of top-flight mathematician John Nash. The book portrays Nash as a strange character who met and worked with everyone who was any one in science in his time (Einstein, von Neumann etc.) However in his private life he was a real weirdo and talked about being in touch with aliens etc.. Rory found the book was quite well written, though a bit American.
