I can't recommend them highly enough. Very funny stories and not too dense (my wife, who is an artist, is reading them now). Another book worth reading is "Genius" by James Gleick (
Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman: James Gleick: 9780679747048: Amazon.com: Books).
When he died there was a palpable feeling of sadness that permeated the campus, but also this great joy and celebration of a brilliant life well lived.
