Read a few Bill Bryson books, easy-reading and enjoyable. He's actually an extremely intelligent guy though

Yes, I also read A Short History. Excellent read, although there are one or two boring chapters.

Anthony Kiedis' book "Scar Tissue" is a cracking read. Man, do I love the Chilli Peppers!

I read that on me travels, actually makes science interesting.
Bryson's a top class writer, always worth a read.

The Essential Shankley by John Keith - Christ what a man Shanks was! Legend!  :cool:

Just read the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Phillip Pullman, not normally my type of thing but thought they were excellent.

Bryson class, fair play to him.

I loved the bit about Yellowstone Park when they realised the immense size of the volcanoe there  :oh:

That's the one my friend.  Still haven't started it, but it's there waiting to be read.
