I'll also put another vote in for "The Selfish Gene"
"Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman' is a truly excellent collection of anecdotes from the physicist Richard Feynman's life. They are both humorous and somewhat awe inspiring. Richard Feynman is Pimp. I've never met anyone who has read this book and didn't love it.
