November 27, 2006: ?Surely You?re Joking Mr. Feynman?? is a great book, if you?re a physicist, and are really into science books and stuff like that. The book is made of great and funny little short stories about Richard Phillips Feynman?s past life. If you are a fifteen year old young adult and you pick up this book, the first thing one would probably want to do is put it right back down. I recommend you do not do that this book is worth the price, and the 346 pages of reading. If it...
