"He (Bill Bryson) is very famous for A Short History Of Nearly Everything, it’s a great book. It’s a book on science essentially and the history of the world. But he has written it in a very entertaining style and it’s a very humorous read... A Short History of Nearly Everything is also a book that you can certainly read again."
