最让我印象深刻的一本是《别闹了,费曼先生!》(Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman),因为太古灵精怪了。排第二的,我得推 Steve Martin 的《天生站立》(Born Standing Up)。
The one that stands out to me the most because it's so quirky is Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman. And in second place I'd have to suggest Born Standing Up by Steve Martin.
如果你对喜剧哪怕有一点点兴趣,我都强烈推荐 Steve Martin 的《天生站立》(Born Standing Up)。这是我最近读过的比较过瘾的书之一。按说它跟 Hacker News 八竿子打不着,不过 pmarca 确实在 SuS 的演讲里引用过它的话。
I highly recommend Born Standing Up by Steve Martin if you're at all into comedy. One of the more enjoyable books I read recently. I'd say it was entirely unrelated to Hacker News, but pmarca did paraphrase it in his talk at SuS.
顺便提一句,如果你觉得这种思路很有意思,你大概也会喜欢 Steve Martin 的《天生站立》(Born Standing Up)。这是一部写得很优美的回忆录,讲述了他如何成为有史以来最成功的单口喜剧演员之一。我不太爱看书,但讲真,这可能是……
On a related note, if you find this line of thought interesting, you'd probably enjoy Steve Martin's Born Standing Up.

……Ed Catmull ——《创新公司》(Creativity, Inc.)。为了工作读的。还挺好看,但也仅此而已。Peter Tompkins ——《植物的秘密生活》(The Secret Life of Plants)(未读完)。我努力试过了,但满纸伪科学实在看不下去。Steve Martin ——《天生站立》(Born Standing Up)。这是一本很有趣的喜剧演员画像,我很欣赏他;如果你本来就是粉丝,那很值得一看,不然就算了。Derek Sivers ——《你要的一切》(Anything You Want)。一天就能刷完,而且你真该读读。……
…Ed Catmull -- Creativity, Inc. Read this for work. Enjoyable but ehh. Peter Tompkins -- The Secret Life of Plants (unfinished). I tried but couldn't get past the rampant bad science. Steve Martin -- Born Standing Up. This was a fun profile of a comic that I appreciate; if you're already a fan it's worthwhile, otherwise skip it. Derek Sivers -- Anything You Want. You can blow through this in a day and you should.…
Steve Martin 写的《天生站立》(Born Standing Up),对如何一路成长为真正极具创造力的人有着诙谐深刻的洞察。它让我放下了告别魔术表演的遗憾。
Born Standing Up by Steve Martin, wry observations on growing up to become really really creative. It makes me less sad that I left magic tricks behind me.
