"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"

I chose to read the book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" by Richard P. Feynman, Nobel prize winning theoretical physicist. I chose to read this book because I saw a very positive review of it by youtube.com user ockteby. Mr. Feynman's life sounds very interesting, much more so than you might imagine for a theoretical physicist. He has many eccentricities and interesting traits that I want to read about. I also am interested in how a Nobel prize winner sees the world differently from others. Finally, I want to read about Feynman's work on the Manhattan Project, and his opinions of it.
