Denise Mochid finished reading A short history of nearly everything by Bill Bryson
Veeery cute, listened to it as audiobook :) Not really difficult, just the scientific history told in a leisurely way. What I take from this: Most great minds will be ignored, forgotten, or similar. Oh, and if you're not a man, you can bet on it. And scientists are a petty bunch of ego-driven maniacs praying on those colleagues that are there for the love of knowledge.
