I'm thinking of setting up a little library with easy books about Feynman so people can come to the shrine and purify their DNA.

Which page of the book > describes that? I once read two small books, collections of anecdotes about Feynman. The titles, as I recall, were "Surely you jest, Mr. Feynman" and "What do you care what other people think". They were paperbacks. The story about the safes was in one of them, I don't recall which. The title of the first was the remark by the wife of the head of the graduate school at Princeton, pouring tea at a reception, when Feymnan decided he wanted both lemon and surgar in his tea.
