Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. An artist, safecracker, practical joker and storyteller, Feynman's life was a series of combustible combinations made possible by his unique mixture of high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity and eternal skepticism. Over a period of years, Feynman's conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton were first taped and then set down as they appear here, little changed from their spoken form, giving a wise, funny, passionate and totally honest self-portrait of one of the greatest men of our age.

Review of '"Surely You\'re Joking, Mr. Feynman!"' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

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!
