32. Richard P. Feynman "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"
What a dick. Sure, the guy helped create the atom bomb and won a Nobel Prize in physics, but he should keep his stories about fucking and charming everyone to himself.
This book consists of Feynman reminiscing about random events from his life, like deciding to play drums in Brazil, sketching nude women, hypnotism, building radios as a child and more. This style makes it ideal for bathroom reading. You're not stuck in any story too long and if you feel like the guy is just bragging, which is often, it's all over within three pages.
I did enjoy the last part of the book, which was taken from a lecture. Maybe I should just read Feynman when he's talking about science.
