I'm going to have to read "surely you're joking", it comes up so often on these lists

I just finished it a few days ago. Read it for the exact same reason. I can really recommend it!

Another reference here. Go for it. It’s a brilliant book.

Surely you are joking Mr Feynman - He was a brilliant man, but I also get a weird vibe from him. I all his books, he comes across as the man who knows is more brilliant than the vast majority of other people, he wants to be considered as a simple man with more persistence and curious attitude than other simpletons, and at the end, I realize that the fake humbleness is pretty insufferable. Come on, Feynman.

An interesting perspective. I can’t disagree.
