Richard Feynman, Physics Nobel laureate in 1965 for his work in electrodynamics, may be percieved as an eccentric and free spirit. His works in the fields of mechanics and astronomy are the works of a genius. His book, 'Surely You're Joking, Mr.Feynman', is a compilation of numerous events that when collated, summarise the person that is Feynman. It contains everything from humorous anecdotes to his true feelings when his first wife, Arline, died prematurely. The book is a must-read for all those who are ambitious to make it big in life, and not ONLY for those who aspire to become physicists.

[edit] Arlene vs. Arline
I have a copy of Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman in front of me.
The introduction reads: "I got married to Arlene in 1941...".
Let's keep her name spelled correctly. -- Starwiz 18:07, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- Agh. Check out Talk:Richard_Feynman to see why I'm wrong. Changing it back. --Starwiz 18:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
