Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

I've wanted this book, "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", like forever. It's basically a collection of wild stories from a guy who happened to win a Nobel Prize in physics but spent most of his life doing everything except acting like a serious scientist. He picks locks at Los Alamos while they're building the atomic bomb, just to prove the safes are useless. He learns to crack safes, play the bongos in a samba band in Brazil, paint nudes under a fake name, decode Mayan hieroglyphs for fun, and argue with everyone about how most people teaching science have no idea what they're actually talking about. It's written by the famous Richard P. Feynman, who worked on the Manhattan Project as a kid barely out of grad school, won the Nobel in 1965 for quantum electrodynamics, later figured out on live TV why the Challenger shuttle blew up, and somehow became the most beloved physics lecturer on the planet along the way. The book came out in 1985 and it's less a memoir and more like sitting in a bar while the smartest person you've ever met tells you story after story and you can't tell which parts he's exaggerating. Everyone says it's hilarious, and that Feynman comes across a little arrogant in a way you forgive almost instantly. Apparently you finish it convinced that curiosity is the only skill that actually matters. Can't wait to find out.
