A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

4.5

funny informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

A really enjoyable look through history of science and discoveries. Incredibly easy to get through despite its length. It’s kind of like listening to the info drops of an episode of QI but in long format. Some is out of date now, of course (there are multiple references to Pluto as a planet, for example), but still an absolute wealth of easy to digest information. I’ve recommended it to a few people now.
