The title is a little misleading, it's more a history of science and scientists, what they discovered and so on. It's fascinating not only for the science but for the way Bryson brings these guys and girls to life. Hubble, for example, was a huge egomaniac apparently. It's a very amusing book!<br /><br />I'm listening to the audio of Bryson reading his book on Shakespeare. He's just so entertaining in this dry humoured, well written way.<br /><br />Great list!

You disliked Eat, Pray, Love (can I ask why, out of interest?) and hated God of Small Things but both of these books I absolutely loved. That's what makes talking about books so fun, don't you think :) <br /><br />Thanks for another awesome post!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16731173186767835989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120123804740418837.post-76719708155737173122009-11-28T17:21:55.539-05:002009-11-28T17:21:55.539-05:00Wow!

I'm surprised to see some books on the list (Twilight, The Notebook). Don't get me wrong - I loved those books! I'm just surprised to see them on the list. <br /><br />I remember reading Animal Farm in 9th grade English. I didn't enjoy it them. Highly unlikely that I'd enjoy it now.

(It's actually pretty unusual for me not to finish a book, so I guess I just started those because they're spoken highly of, even knowing I probably wouldn't like them.) Like you, I wasn't into The God of Small Things or Atonement at all.<br /><br />Actually, now I think about it, most of the non-children's titles I've read here are ones that were required reading for uni.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120123804740418837.post-35622512517224186672009-11-27T21:50:00.510-05:002009-11-27T21:50:00.510-05:00*gasp* you haven't read the Book Thief?!

For the most part, it wasn't classics at all. It was good books that I love or want to read.<br />@Kirthi I think you misunderstand. :-) The cross-outs are the ones I have read. The bold (such as 3 and 49) are ones that I have on my tbr list. This cross-outs with the frowny faces are the ones I didn't like. So I did love the #6. :-Pbrizmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163313230550265190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120123804740418837.post-47329992584666143422009-11-27T15:33:22.867-05:002009-11-27T15:33:22.867-05:00I highly disagree with the cross-out of #6, but th...I highly disagree with the cross-out of #6, but the rest I totally agree with :)I love #3 and #49<br /><br /> I was thinking about reading a few books that have been crossed out, but I was never interested in it, and I'm glad someone agrees with me :)Kirthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857145616217476440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120123804740418837.post-80355422298758890502009-11-27T13:45:33.572-05:002009-11-27T13:45:33.572-05:00hmm, I'm usually wary of these "must read...hmm, I'm usually wary of these "must read" lists because they're usually supposed popular "classics" or books I think are rather overrated =T<br />that said, I probably still read 10 or so, most for classes though XD;nineflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248914607640118555noreply@blogger.com
