that I am not meant to be a student of science. I think I already knew that, but this book reminded me of the fact. Overall, it's an impressive book, but I was abysmally bored at times (I *really* never liked rocks).
I enjoyed the chemistry part a lot and physics parts some, because those are the sciences I was always more drawn too (chemistry I understood some, physics I never got, thus the a lot vs some. It's measure of my understanding, not the scientific worth.)
The parts about how we could all die tomorrow were not good bed time reading.
The part I'm finishing up about the evolution of man is fascinating (if slightly dry. I guess paleontology is dry...heh, get it. dry bones. hehe)
