I first learned about Feynman, after reading his book:  "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman": Adventures of a Curious Character - which I found fascinating, enthralling, entertaining, mind-expanding, and inspiring.

Later, I read  "What Do You Care What Other People Think?": Further Adventures of a Curious Character - which I also thoroughly enjoyed.

Richard Phillips Feynman (/ˈfnmən/; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga.
