I'm nearing the end of Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything". It has a load of interesting info and is reasonably easy to read, but I am glad it is nearly finished. The subject matter is on the one hand very very interesting but also somewhat academic and dry; particulalrly in the latter half of the book where he examines the life sciences (physics, cosmology and geophysics were more my thing and it would seem remain so).
