He is calling me DUDE

I love this movie.

According to the "Which Big Lebowski character are you?" quiz:

Why don't you check it out? Or we cut of your Johnson!

Since my life is boring, I've decided I'll just talk about the books I'm reading instead. I just finished A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It was excellent, even though it got preachy in parts (as his books inevitably do). I highly recommend it for people who are interested in the history of science or just like to know things. There was NO MATH involved. I move on to Guns, Germs, and Steel and the next Brother Cadfael.

Have you read Kuhn? Thats a good book for HPS. Actually, it's a good book for just about everything. It would be a good Core book. GGS is also quite interesting, although some people find it dry.

Kuhn? No, I haven't.
You wouldn't much care for the Bryson. It's written specifically for people who know nothing about science. The physics part in particular would reduce you to tears.

Got the same thing.

Currently cutting through The Secret Agent by Joesph Conrad (my favorite Dead Pole).
