I am a Feynman Fan

Translated by DeepSeek V4 Pro. Translations can be inaccurate, please refer to the original post for important stuff.

A few days ago, the copies of Feynman Lectures on Statistical Mechanics and Feynman Lectures on Computation that I purchased from Taiwan (via a Taobao proxy service) arrived today. With this, my collection of Feynman’s works is basically complete.

Feynman Lectures on Gravitation, Statistical Mechanics, and Computation

I am a Feynman fan, drawn to Feynman’s "Peter Pan" personality and captivated by his physical talent. Because of this, I admire Feynman much like an ordinary person follows a celebrity—collecting his books and studying the physics he invented.

Feynman wrote many works, and I have read almost all of them and collected those that could be collected. My collection of Feynman’s works includes:

The Feynman Lectures on Physics (3 volumes)
Feynman’s Tips on Physics
Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals (Printed from electronic version; Higher Education Press is preparing a reprint)
Quantum Electrodynamics
Feynman Lectures on Gravitation (Taiwan Traditional Chinese edition)
Feynman Lectures on Statistical Mechanics (Taiwan Traditional Chinese edition)
Feynman Lectures on Computation (Taiwan Traditional Chinese edition)
Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Printed from electronic version)
What Do You Care What Other People Think? (Printed from electronic version)
The Pleasure of Finding Things Out (Printed from electronic version)
The Character of Physical Law
QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter

This basically covers all of Feynman’s major works, except for a few books that are extremely difficult to obtain. I always feel that I started reading Feynman too late; otherwise, my life experiences might have been more satisfying to me. Another regret is that I have not yet grasped much of Feynman’s physical knowledge, and I cannot yet deeply understand the physical thoughts of this "Scientific Peter Pan." However, this remains one of my major motivations for learning.
