His lectures in "Surely you must be joking Mr. Feynman" are riddled with absurdist humour and are just a general pleasure to read even if you take no interest in the underlying mathematical geekery. I don't claim to understand quantum physics either hehe, but I like a fun read. He wrote a couple of other great books, I liked his style and insight. And his overwhelming humanism. "Tuva or bust!" is a real nice travelogue of his journey into a remote region of modern day Russia to chase down the now already popularized "throat singers" of the area. To use a popular meme, "I think Richard was a pretty cool guy, eh dabbled with sub-atomic particles and didn't afraid of anything" :D
