RECOMMENDATION

I stumbled on a superb book at the library last week. One I'm going to purchase for my own library.

I hesitate to tell you about it because I fear my telling will put you off.

The book is A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.

Here - go read the reviews at Amazon.

A great book.

UPDATE: Many of you recognize the author as also having written A Walk in the Woods and have also recommended it.

I read it some years ago. Mr. Bryson, a literary everyman, decides to walk a good portion of the Appallachian Trail. The book is his rendering of the stories he encounters from, or about, those he runs into along the trail.

Also a great read.
