Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman: Adventures of a Curious Character

Richard P. Feynman

This book is in a class by itself as an autobiographical adventure of a Nobel Prize winning physicist. Feynman went all over the world and enjoyed participating in many playing fields. His life went from trading ideas with Einstein, to cracking safes at Los Alamos, and included learning how to pick up women at bars. I doubt there will ever be another Feynman and this is his story told in a charming and very humorous manner. Anyone who would not find this book fascinating and enjoyable is clearly someone I would probably find lacking in taste, humanity, and perspective. Do not go any further, just buy, read, and enjoy this book. There is something in it for everyone.
