Tony2Times has suggested that someone do a review of 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'. Vaguely remember reading this but don't feel I could do a review so was wondering if you lot could supply comments.
in advance.

Started it, quite a major undertaking. I could try again, but i think it is on hold at the library.

Hi Pearl.
I will have a bash, if you like. After having done my HPHBP review, of course.

Ooh, very good! And you've put in all the guide ML for me.
Course, you do realise that this rather raises the bar of the column and I may have to put in a bit more effort? Flip.

What are you after? I'm sure you're not usually this helpful....
I have a book in mind for the next review, but feel free to write up the Bill Bryson one and I'll store it somewhere for later use.

Let me know if i can help in anyway, I got the book yesterday and started reading it.
I do sound rather new at this and it's because I am. But I can go on to something else Because I see you have this book covered. (pun intended)
