Every one of these books looks fascinating. But I'm lazy. What I would like is a whole series of TV specials, one per book, narrated beautifully by Edward Herrmann, James Earl Jones, David Attenborough, Mike Rowe, Sigourney Weaver. Would someone please do that for me?
I really wanted to vote positively for A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It was a fun read. But I found a mistake. I feel that if a non-scientist like myself found a mistake there must be others in this book. Sigh.
Some books on here are not history. #100 Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things is psychology.
Agreed. Removed.
