This is the wittiest, funniest and unmissable autobiographies I've ever read. The man had more amusing anecdotes than all the best men at all the weddings in the world combined.
Feynman was a genius (but that much is obvious). This book shows just how wacky scientists are in comparison to their sober public perception. Hilarous.
Although Penrose claims you can really just skip over the mathematics in this book, if you're going to really understand what he's on about in more than just a surface sense, you'll really have to be able to follow the numbers behind it.
