Feynman was one of the biggest names in physics in the last century. His autobiography provides an interesting glimpse into the mind of a brilliant man. My girlfriend found him to be arrogant at times, and I have to agree, but his exuberant joy at puzzle solving was so clear that, to my mind, it more than made up for this flaw. I was struck by how little he talked about his marriages. I would have found that enormously interesting. How does a super-genius relate to women? Read this book after watching an interview or two with Feynman and you'll have the added pleasure of imagining him actually speaking. Here's an excellent example: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/richard_feynman.html
Some anecdotes move a little faster than others.
