Congrats, Stewart and Ice. :)

Congrats! :D

Interesting. As much as like science books, they often don't show much of the personalities of the great scientific minds of our time. One thing I really enjoyed about Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything, was that it had some interesting tidbits about these people.

Good choice, silverseason. I'm also reading this one, in between fiction books. :)

Lol - funny!

I've moved on. :p I'm now standing in a stairway leading up from a tomb in the graveyard where Edgar Allan Poe has just been buried. It's 1849. :D

LMAO! Thank you - I feel rather privileged now!
