A Short History of Nearly Everything.

Thanks! Have you read the book, is it any good?

 

[steffee]

Yeah, it's good. It's an easy read considering the heavy subject matter, and typical for Bryson, hilarious in parts.

It's a brilliant book. Funny, and educational as well. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in science or history.

It's been sitting on my bookshelf for awhile now, and I'm hoping to read it after I'm done with Running With Scissors. The comments on here have now made that decision definite (it had better be good, guys, or I'll be coming after you two )

This is true, actually I was not all that interested in science until I read this book. I loved it
