I'm liking the kind of reader that Bryson has turned me into: Someone who reaches for this book first thing in the morning, to continue the section on quantum mechanics; someone who takes this book to bed, reluctantly falling asleep right after the chapter on how active volcanoes can wipe us off the face of the planet yay yay yay oh god.

Why do not have a running list, yet, of scientists who've had extraordinarily bad luck or are ridiculously kooky or both? (Also: The geography and the chemistry sections are giving me a downer, after all the wonder of the larger Universe.)

Bill Bryson writes, "...the universe bends, in a way we can't adequately imagine," and my eyes are getting squintier and squintier and squintier. I fucking love Science.
