My pal Chad loaned me this audiobook by Bill Bryson yesterday, and I've been listening to it as I type my Biodiversity notes and eating supper (those latter two NOT at the same time ::grin::). I'm only through chapter one -- twice, because I got distracted while trying to interpret my own handwriting and lost track of the book -- and so far the description of the formation of the universe and how large it is has made me feel very small and insignificant indeed. The writing is very much geared toward the layperson, and there's enough humor thrown in to keep all this science-geeky-nerd stuff from getting boring, even to a science-geeky-nerd. Highly recommend this one to anyone who has an interest in science -- and that's saying something considering I'm only JUST on chapter two.
I'll ply you with updates.
