Surely you’re joking Mr. Feynman By Richard P Feynman



“Surely you’re joking Mr. Feynman!” Adventures of a Curious Character

By Richard P Feynman

This book is an autobiography of Richard P Feynman, a physicist (a scientist of physics), a teacher at Berkeley and Caltech and who worked on the atomic bomb. Feynman died in 1988.

I thought this is the best nonfiction book ever. It is actually really funny. He talks about things that happened to him in college when he learned to be a safecracker, when he was the chief research chemist of the Metaplast Corporation (a metal plating company), when he tried to be a bloodhound, and other hilarious things he does.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being awful and 10 being great: I give this a 9.
