I read this Feynmann book many years ago, lost it and have recently purchased it again and re-read it. I'm pleased to say that the stories in it are just as funny, fascinating and diverting as I found them the first time round, possibly more so. Readers who want to sample Feynmann's humor should check out the story "Uncle Sam Doesn't Need You", in which he gets rejected from the draft to the military on psychological grounds! The story on his cod Italian ("Latin or Italian?") is also very amusing. The book also gives some insight into Feynmann's scientific mind: take for example the story about how he fixed radios as a kid, the one about his time as a chemist, or the one about his time on a course in cell biology. Feynmann was an amazingly versatile individual, who was up for practically anything.

The book has a verbatim feel to it, probably because it was transcribed by Robert Leighton from conversations with Feynmann. Possibly because of this, the language is direct in a rather attractive American way.

For those interested in further Feynmann adventures there is a sequelWhat Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures of a Curious Character. This also contains something very serious and instructive: an annex on Feynmann's work on the enquiry into the Space Shuttle challenger accident. A fascinating complement to these books is Alan Alda's essay on the play he put on about Feynmann, covering in particular the difficulty of capturing such a rich personality in a 90 minute play.
