Feynman, Richard

• Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
• What Do You Care What Other People Think?

  • A series of short essays by and/or about the famous physicist (dead for several years now) Dr. Richard Feynman. Seen within the Science community as somewhat of an erratic genius (emphasis on the genius), Feynman had a lot of opinions and experiences that are worth reading about. In fact, I always use one particular excerpt from these books, entitled Cargo Cult Science, as an introduction to my Astronomy classes. Read through it, and if you like it, you'll like the books. I absolutely loved them.
