Come, tell, discuss and share bits and pieces.

I'm reading "The strange life of Nikola Tesla," An autobiography (PDF)

"Of all things I liked books best. My father had a large library and whenever I could manage I tried to satisfy my passion for reading. He did not permit it and would fly in a rage when he caught me in the act. He hid the candles when he found that I was reading in secret. He did not want me to spoil my eyes. But I obtained tallow, made the wicking and cast the sticks into tin forms, and every night I would bush the keyhole and the cracks and read, often till dawn, when all others slept and my mother started on her arduous daily task."

Although, I have heard great reviews of the book on Tesla.

"Completely SHOCKING"

"It Zapped my sub-conscious"

"Rocked my very foundation"

"He moved me"

"He saw right into my soul"
