A book entitled "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman" by Feynman a nobel prize winning theoretical physicist. (1/3 of the prize - quantum electrodynamics). And judging by the book, a Nobel prize winning narcisist too. Whilst the subject he got his prize for is interesting, or would be if I understoood it, his practical jokes and bongo drumming figure much larger in the book and mostly are schoolboy stuff.
I think the clue is in the title. It shows he was human and not just a one track genius. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
