Richard P. Feynman: Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!

Several years ago a friend lent me this book and said something to the effect of "this will be the funniest book you'll ever have read", so I read it with very high expectations and was disappointed. A few years ago I thought the book hadn't been that bad after all, and I should read it again. Now I read a review mentioning this and that from the book, and I couldn't remember these things. So I thought it was time to read it again, and I did, with fun and pleasure. So much for the disappointment.

No, it is not that funny, but funny nevertheless, and really interesting. Feynman does not appear as the most likeable in all of the stories (he must have been a bit of a prick sometimes), but his thoughts are always interesting.
