The Language God Talks by Herman Wouk
I just finished an interesting read on science and religion, The Language God Talks by Herman Wouk.
The book was not what I expected it to be, however it was interesting and was interlinked to Herman's story around meeting Richard Fenyman a Scientist from California Tech.
So what is The Language God Talks?
I will admit when I started reading this book, the title The Language God Talks made me think I would be reading another interesting point of view on a subject that Gregg Braden is known to cover.
It is not, not even close to the same kind of subject, they are two different kinds of writings completely, and the name is only representative of what Herman heard from Fenyman when they first met.
The story goes like this, Fenyman told Herman that he needs to learn Calculus, and this is The Language God Talks.
Herman Wouk was born a Russian Jew, so much of the story brought to light his feelings on the holocaust in Europe during WWII, particularly since he was in the American Military during those years.
The book coved a lot of ground from meeting people like Murray Gell-Mann and Steven Weinberg.
Herman made it clear he was not good at calculus and did try to get a better understanding of it, but it never really sunk in.
Another chapter discussed travel to the moon, or we can say space travel. It was Fenyman who uncovered the cause of the Challenger disaster in1984 with ice water.
He questioned the cold air the day of the launch and its effect on bushing's on the Challenger craft. Was this an oversight or just carelessness?
So as it goes, the story progresses with a lot of interesting stories that Herman weaves for us in this rather short book.

Herman Wouk is an American author whose best-selling 1951 novel The Caine Mutiny won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His other works include the highly acclaimed The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, historical novels about World War II, and non-fiction such as This Is My God, a popular explanation of Judaism from a Modern Orthodox perspective written for Jewish and non-Jewish audiences. His books have been translated into 27 languages. The Washington Post called Wouk, who cherishes his privacy, “the reclusive dean of American historical novelists.” Historians, novelists, publishers, and critics who gathered at the Library of Congress in 1995 to mark Wouk's 80th birthday likened him to "an American Tolstoy."
Wouk's latest book, an autobiographical memoir entitled Sailor and Fiddler: Reflections of a 100-Year-Old Author, is being released in 2015 to mark his 100th birthday.

Herman Wouk (
/ˈwoʊk/; born May 27, 1915) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American author whose novels include The Caine Mutiny, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance.
Herman Wouk was born in New York City into a Jewish family that had emigrated from Russia. After a childhood and adolescence in the Bronx and a high school diploma from Townsend Harris High School, he earned a B.A. from Columbia University in 1934, where he was a member of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity and studied under philosopher Irwin Edman. Soon thereafter, he became a radio dramatist, working in David Freedman's "Joke Factory" and later with Fred Allen for five years and then, in 1941, for the United States government, writing radio spots to sell war bonds. He lived a fairly secular lifestyle in his early 20s before deciding to return to a more traditional Jewish way of life, modeled after that of his grandfather, in his mid-20s. From that day to the present, Wouk has commenced each day of his life with a reading of Scripture in Hebrew[citation needed].

Famous quotes by Herman Wouk:
"I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge."
"Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today."
"The only imaginative fiction being written today is income tax returns."
"I felt there's a wealth in Jewish tradition, a great inheritance. I'd be a jerk not to take advantage of it."
"Illusion is an anodyne, bred by the gap between wish and reality."
"The Caine Mutiny Court Martial,"
"Some people think that all the equipment you need to discuss religion is a mouth"
"We are in the black theater of nonexistence. In an eye blink the curtain is up, the stage ablaze, for the vast drama of ourselves."
"The President has a quick and able mind, though not everybody gives him that, not by a long shot."
"Write a page a day. It will add up."
"Some people think that all the equipment you need to discuss religion is a mouth."
"Discount my partiality, but my report is that so far The Winds of War is looking good."
"I learned about machinery, I learned how men behaved under pressure, and I learned about Americans."
"Judaism has always been a strong interest of mine. My two sons speak Hebrew and are familiar with the scriptures and with rabbinic literature. This is the way we live."

The Language God Talks by Herman Wouk
I just finished an interesting read on science and religion, The Language God Talks by Herman Wouk.
The book was not what I expected it to be, however it was interesting and was interlinked to Herman's story around meeting Richard Fenyman a Scientist from California Tech.
So what is The Language God Talks?
I will admit when I started reading this book, the title The Language God Talks made me think I would be reading another interesting point of view on a subject that Gregg Braden is known to cover.
It is not, not even close to the same kind of subject, they are two different kinds of writings completely, and the name is only representative of what Herman heard from Fenyman when they first met.
The story goes like this, Fenyman told Herman that he needs to learn Calculus, and this is The Language God Talks.
Herman Wouk was born a Russian Jew, so much of the story brought to light his feelings on the holocaust in Europe during WWII, particularly since he was in the American Military during those years.
The book coved a lot of ground from meeting people like Murray Gell-Mann and Steven Weinberg.
Herman made it clear he was not good at calculus and did try to get a better understanding of it, but it never really sunk in.
Another chapter discussed travel to the moon, or we can say space travel. It was Fenyman who uncovered the cause of the Challenger disaster in1984 with ice water.
He questioned the cold air the day of the launch and its effect on bushing's on the Challenger craft. Was this an oversight or just carelessness?
So as it goes, the story progresses with a lot of interesting stories that Herman weaves for us in this rather short book.

Herman Wouk is an American author whose best-selling 1951 novel The Caine Mutiny won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His other works include the highly acclaimed The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, historical novels about World War II, and non-fiction such as This Is My God, a popular explanation of Judaism from a Modern Orthodox perspective written for Jewish and non-Jewish audiences. His books have been translated into 27 languages. The Washington Post called Wouk, who cherishes his privacy, “the reclusive dean of American historical novelists.” Historians, novelists, publishers, and critics who gathered at the Library of Congress in 1995 to mark Wouk's 80th birthday likened him to "an American Tolstoy."
Wouk's latest book, an autobiographical memoir entitled Sailor and Fiddler: Reflections of a 100-Year-Old Author, is being released in 2015 to mark his 100th birthday.
