A Short History of Nearly Everything

bbrysons.gifI don't read much. Usually I read about 10 minutes a day and it is Hollywood hijinks's found in my wife's magazines littering the bathroom. But I found a book that has captivated me and has me reading whenever I can. Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. A fantastic expedition. It is the Universe and our beginnings, not religious beginnings, and how life and the heavens, not religious heavens, came to be. Written in much the same style as The Wealthy Barber, it isn't just mindless facts and boring statistics. It is colorful and humorous and intriguing. So little we know about everything is summed up nicely and you will sound way SMRT when you tell your friends how Newton damn near guessed the weight of the earth 300 years ago and was within a few hundred pounds of what modern scientist have now speculated.

Buy it, borrow it, trade for it or steal it. Just do it and nerdy chicks will want you.
