Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (7)

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
By Richard P Feynman

Richard Feynman... Physicist, Genius, Nobel Prize winner... curious character... An interesting collection of stories... From his childhood.. and fixing radios for neighbors.. to the working on the A bomb during the war.. to teaching.. but the interesting parts of the books are the looks at his life... meeting girls in Arizona, hanging out in Las Vegas, learning to draw (and becoming quite good), visiting Japan, living in Brazil.. The man had a lot of experiences in his life.. and you get the idea that he did it by being very genuine.. and talking with people...
Dr Feynman died of cancer in 1988, at the age of 69. This book was published the year before his death.
