    I am SO disappoited that you would not prefer “The Shat” (Wm. Shatner) over Picard. It was Kirk’s “womanizing his way across the Galaxy” that made the original Star Trek so much fun to watch – in that no matter how bad things got, you could always count on the Kirkster to finally score in the end!  He gives hope to us single men!

  9. Have you read “A Short History of Nearly Everything” by Bill Bryson. How does it compare to your second line items?

  10. Josh says:

    I have indeed read “A Short History of Nearly Everything” by Bryson and I don’t think you should really compare them.

    “A Brief History of Time” is really about one subject and is quite interesting, but narrow.  It’s written in a way that makes a tough subject accessible to a wide audience, but it’s still tough because of all the technical aspects of it.  ‘Headache inducing’ would be an appropriate review.

    “A Short History of Nearly Everything” is about a broad range of different subjects, and is written in Bryson’s typical sense of humor that makes you laugh out loud at the absurdity of some things.  Because he is an ‘everyman’, the subjects he writes about are very approachable and enjoyable.

You are a very talented young man. Clicked on all your drop downs and redirect sites. A magnitude of great stuff here – tremendous site! You should be in the hall of fame for personal sites if there is such a place.
