What an entertaining romp through the life on an idiosyncratic and brilliant Nobel award winner.  Some of the adventures he gets himself in to couldn't be scripted more hilariously if they solely existed in the imagination of a creative character.  Fortunately for us Mr Feynman was determined to live his real life as if it was a brilliant fiction, to dabble in nude painting, to join an award-winning samba band, to pursue amateur experiments on ants and to successfully pick every single lock holding secrets to the Manhattan project FOR A LAUGH!!!  Lucky for us, we get to live vicariously through this brilliant and thrillseeking man.  In one section he reveals part of his technique for getting in to adventures explicitly.  On his annual summer vacation to drive as far as he can towards the Pacific (never making it there) he lands himself in Vegas.  He describes his penchant for being patient spending days in a nightclub in order to rub shoulders with bigwigs like Nick the Greek and get involved in some true adventures.  Mr Feynman is a man who has little time for the social niceties and hypocritical behavior present in our society and he holds an uncompromising scientific outlook.  Not content to let things he disagrees with slide, he is quick to point out the errors in peoples thinking whether it be an artist friend or a very well respected physicist like Niels Bohr.  I absolutely, thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would highly recommend it.
