Freeman Dyson, a physicist and mathematician, recently participated in a Q-and-A with The New York Times, sharing that the most unexpected book he keeps on his bookshelf is a copy of the Book of Mormon.
Dyson, who was promoting his new book, "Dreams of Earth and Sky," answered several questions about his literary repertoire, ranging from his favorite scientific books to which book can he read over and over again.
Dyson was also asked, "What books might we be surprised to find on your shelves?"
"The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ," Dyson responded. "I treasure it because some of my best friends are Mormons, and the book tells a dramatic story in a fine biblical style."
