a short history of nearly everything" by Bill Bryson.

I've been meaning to buy that book. Although I should probably be miffed because Bryson declined to write a blurb for my book. My editor thought he would be good, as he had some success with A Walk in the Woods. What do editors know?

He has several books out and appears to be back in England. I do like his writting but not his attitude sometimes. He is from DesMoines Iowa but in some of his wittings tends to look down on us provincials..
