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

Recommended by Rebecca Watson as a great skeptical read, I put this book on my wish list and found it for $2.95 at Logos. Great memories, what a life he has had. Always ready for an adventure, and never satisfied till he figured it out, whatever it was. Feynman understood his limitations and found ways around them. The only knowledge I had of this man were the stories Randi tells of his amazing need to know! Would love to have known more about his personal life and less about how a lock works. I loved the stories where he tricks people but his technical detailed references were not for me. Wish he had mentioned Randi. Overall good book. Stirling is borrowing it next to satisfy reading a bio for English class. 11-2008

mr. feynman recounts his life in science in a very easy to understand way.his curiosity in science,and the world around him shows the reason for his great success.:Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! Adventures of a Curious Character is a science book about the scientific mind as much as the science itself.

Really good book, an autobiography about a Nobel Prize winner. I never knew that so brilliant mind can be so nice and talented person in so many non-science areas. Tells a story about a friendly joker, a brilliant mind, a talented person who saw no limits (except the sky). This book makes me think that everything is possible if only hard work and stubborn determination is involved. I am glad that i got this book from a friend. I highly suggest this book to be on everyones bucket list. I really enjoyed reading about Richard Feynman in such a nice and easy book. Again, this is a bucket list position.
