What people on Hacker News said
It's a kind of sequel of Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! but has a more personal touch.
Read something REALLY fun, enlightening and TRUE: Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a curious character) and What do you care what other people think (Further adventures of a curious character)
The sequel to Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman, titled What Do You Care What Other People Think? is also really good, and includes his account of investigating the Challenger disaster which is worth the read just for that chapter.
Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and the sequel, What Do You Care What Other People Think?
What Do You Care What Other People Think? is another book by Feynman written in the same style. I think Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman! is better but love both of them.
"What Do You Care What Other People Think", another Feynman book, is also pretty good.
