I realize that. The price at Chapters is about $50. I am offering $20 if someone has read it and is done with it or decides they don't want it, I am offering to buy it from them.

Anyone read this book? Any reviews? I recently finished Bill Bryson's -' A Short History of Nearly Everything' and really enjoyed it.
I'm wondering if Stephen Hawkings would be as entertaining?

Bryson's book is great, I agree.

Hawking's is good, but not nearly as easy a read, unless you are a total egghead.

You might want to check out Hawkins "A Brief History of Time". It's really good and an easier read. He made an updated "Briefer History of Time" that's an even easier read with more diagrams. I would trade that one for "Universe in a Nutshell" if anyone's interested.
