What Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures of a Curious Character
by Richard P. Feynman is the sequel to "Surely you are joking, Mr. Feyman!" and describes the scientist Feynman's dealings with the NASA, the life of a rocket scientist with it's ups and downs, the total irreverence of the highly intelligent for other people's holy cows, and the behind the scenes absurdities of policy colliding in the presidential commission (his description of what orders he gets from the White House about how to go through hundreds of papers filed away at the research institute and what to look for in there is hilarious enough to make this book worth reading if you are interested to know about unusual ideas how to waste plenty of time)of the Challenger space shuttle disaster.
I love Feyman.
