I liked his books, what an incredible person. Infinity is based on his life.

Very well. But why do I get a Scientology ad on this page? o_O

If you like Feynman, I highly recommend this book.

Feynman's art work (contains some nudes) can be seen at this site. There is a page of doodles that just fascinates me.

Indeed a very curious character.

Thanks Amit, I may just go ahead and look at the videos. His books were good too.

I've read this book three or four times. One of the funniest things I've read in my life!

Inspires curiosity like no other science writer

Agreed. Feyman is the standard by which all other physicists should be judged - brilliant,inventive, engaging,and - best of all - very funny!

Feynman makes science seem palatable to the regular citizen.

Best biography ever.

I enjoyed reading this book. It made science fun and accessible to everyone...HE made science fun and accessible to everyone!

I enjoyed reading the biography as I wanted to know more about the person who wrote the Physics lectures books. His approach is so original, with a new take on things I thought I understood, and it was fascinating to see where that curiosity and down to earth vision came from. A genius. Thanks to Henry for the link to the sketches.

This book made ​​me want to enjoy life more. And learn safecracking.
He is wild, He's not refusing to new challenges, and the book is written with witty humor, and swallowed in one gulp.
Thank you, Ralph Leighton!

The best Biography book I ever read

He would have had a good laugh at that...

Very easy, interesting and amusing biography - obviously this man made it his mission to enjoy a full and humorous life. Also very glad he was good enough to share it with us.
