Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! by Richard P. Feynman

copyright = 1997
pages = 352

source = purchase

date completed = 06/21/09
challenges: Non-Fiction Five

This was a set of autobiographical essays by physicist Richard Feynman. He is definitely not a writer. The essays were disjointed, out of chronological order, and dry. I really wasn't interested in reading the book after I started, but I finished it for the challenge. I had previously read somewhere this was supposed to be humorous, but I didn't find it that funny. I'm sure he's a great scientist, won the Nobel prize, etc. But I just didn't enjoy reading these essays.
