Book Response: Einstein and Buddha

A collection of quotations from quantum physics and from eastern philosophical traditions, paired up. Amusing to dip into ad a relaxation, but I didn't find it really thought provoking or insightful - the parallels between the quotations were often somewhat strained, and anyway when you take a statement out of its context out usually suffers for it. Some of the introductory text is worthwhile - for example, I had never heard that Heisenberg worked for the Nazis.

Worth a read, but don't expect more than it is.
