The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, by Richard P. Feynman

A collection of very satisfying stories from Feynman, as drawn from interviews, college addresses and professional talks over the years. Topics ranging from the Manhattan Project to his views on how to reconcile religion and scientific thought. The editing was comically poor at times, highlighting either a total lack of understanding of the material on the part of the editor or else extreme carelessness ("group therapy" intead of "group theory" in one instance), but it was worth ignoring that lapse to get this material all gathered in one convenient place.
