    • Ken says:
    • A big story, great characters, out-loud laughs, and a twist to your mind that never leaves you — how nonsense can make sense, but is never not nonsensical. 'That's some catch, that Catch-22.' 'It's the best there is.'

    • Bryson takes us to the beginning, to the Big Bang, and brings us light-year by light-year, molecule by molecule, to now. To us. And he does it with a way of writing the rest of us can only dream of.

    • Ken says:
    • I read it just after university, full of the belief that intellectual brilliance is the answer to every problem. Halberstam shows how, unless the "best and brightest" get outside of their own minds and into those of others — to discover their sense — they will never understand and always get things wrong.

    • Ken says:
    • Pinker takes accepted wisdom — that with nuclear arms and terrorism, where individuals, not only states, can afford and create weapons of mass destruction — that the present is a far more violent place than the past; and with his usual relentless research, wide-reaching grasp, and vivid writing style, demonstrates the opposite. Allowing for a future not just of doom and gloom, but of hope and possibility.
