Genius by James Gleick (1992, Hardcover)

A book about a physics legend Richard Feynman, this book covers all the bases with his personal life, and science. This book is a wealth of knowledge in the history of quantum with Feynman working with all the greats including Oppenheimer, Fermi, Bohrs, Bethe, and almost every other name from the period you can think of. Interesting if you have no physics background, absolutely riveting if you do. I loved this book, Gleick did a heck of a job.
