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

This is so funny and was such a great thing to read on a holiday.  

This book is great. I love biographies and autobiographies and this definitely hit the spot. It's not perfectly chronological and he does seem to jump around time but there's certainly signposted periods, i.e. his early life, his undergraduate, his postgraduate, the Manhattan Project and life after the Manhattan Project.

This book made me love him as a person so much more than I already did. I knew of him through short clips on Youtube that made me appreciate his thinking but seeing his life told in a very entertaining way was just so fun to experience. Of course, as a history student I had no idea what he was talking about when talking about physics but that was not important, I felt his passion and that he was a genuinely passionate person. He did so much more at my age (22 at the time of writing this) than I have with my life. It's perhaps given me a bigger motivation to do more and try more things that seem ‘unsuited' to my personality.

Wholeheartedly recommend.
