Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman? by Richard Feynman et al.

What an amazing man! Very funny stories. It's interesting that some reviews of this book say he's just showing off how smart he is, when if anything he keeps coming back to the fact that he never felt that he was as smart as most of his contemporaries, and didn't feel he had any abstract talent at all.

I found it amazing the number of other things he got OK at, at an amateur level; drumming, artistic drawing, several other things.
