This and its companion volume What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character (Penguin Books 2007; £5.64; ISBN 978-0141030883) are a compilation of spoken reminiscences by Feynman about his life, the universe and everything.  I never heard Feynman speak, so I don't know if the way in which the narrative is cast is representative of his style.

Curious character indeed!  Polymath isn't the half of it.  Feynman couldn't encounter a problem without trying to understand and then solve it; he couldn't become aware of a gap in his knowledge or skills without trying to remedy it.  The books range across his interests and investigations from Can ants walk in a straight line? to Maya mathematics, bongo drumming, and linguistics.  Of his professional experiences less is said; perhaps his Los Alamos years are still security-classified.  But he does reprint his investigations into and conclusions on the Challenger disaster.

 He (or Leighton) does rather try to present himself rather as a Socratic innocent let loose in a bewidering world; I relished his account of how he, oh so inadvertently, detonated a philosophy seminar and left it in tatters.
