In this book, physicist Richard Feynman recollects various interesting and funny anecdotes from his life. Such as his physics research, childhood, beautiful females, topless bars, art, music, languages, winning the Nobel Prize, universities, life as a professor etc. This guy is surely one of the most interesting characters I've come across. I'm a Feynman fan now!
