Has anyone seen the movie "A Beautiful Mind?" It's a true story based on the book of the same title written by Sylvia Nasar. The book - which I'm currently reading - goes into much greater detail than the movie about the mathmatics work done by John Nash. It also goes into detail about his personal life and how it - according to some - resulted in him becoming Schizophrenic later in life. Ms. Nasar did a wonderful job writing the book which is actually a wonderful tribute to the person of John Nash and how he overcame the effects of a debilitating mental illness to win the Nobel Prize in Mathmatics.

Hi, thanks for describing a great story. I did see the movie and I loved it but, I did not read the book. I'm sure the book is much more discriptive and interesting than the movie as they usually all are. But, being a slow reader, I don't know if could sit through the whole book after seeing the movie. I don't mind watching a movie after reading the book, simply because it doesn't take any effort.
