Literature Lightly Examined: "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!"

Richard Feynman, PhD., is full of wit in this collection of taped and transcribed conversations between him and his friend Ralph Leighton. Each enthralling anecdote will make you want to read the next, and then the next, and before finishing the book, you will regard Feynman as truly a curious character. Although Surely you're joking is written from the point of view of a theoretical physicist, Feynman is essentially a human before all else, and his frank testimony produces an extremely unbiased analysis of the human condition. "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" is an essential read for anyone, science enthusiast or not. The only grief you will feel while reading it is the realization that you have finished it.
