A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Novel Laureate John Nash by Sylvia Nasar

3.0

Giving this book 3 stars because it’s probably good/interesting to the right audience. That is not me. I read this because I’m interested in the schizophrenic aspect, but this book was about theoretical math. Nash develops schizophrenia around age 30, which didn’t happen until page 240 something. This book was very dense, difficult to slog through, and relatively uninteresting. And Nash was made out to be such a dick pre-illness that I honestly stopped caring about him.
