It's amazing how the mind works.

I read "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" a year ago and it was a really great book, I recommend it to everyone. I found it amazing how such a spirit could pursue a wide variety of interest (physics, music, drawings, lock-picking...).

I must also share these two essays by Feynman :

I concur. It affected me a great deal due to the sheer breadth of Feynman's life.

Creativity, have you read the second book yet?

If you're speaking of "What Do You Care What Other People Think - Further Adventures of a Curious Character", not yet but I will get to it this summer.
