I too enjoyed Feynman's biographical books, as well as his Lectures on Physics. He
also wrote about computation, another book I have in my collection. -- Ian

Agreed. I'm a

There are sevral (apocryphal) stories of students being told they
can 'bring Feynman to the exam' (meaning, of course, the 3 read

Fromwhat I've read, I could well believe that Feynman would go
along with such a stunt :-)
After reading, "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" I would agree.
