He manages to add knowledge with humor in every book. Definatly, laugh out loud stuff. I also read "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving and loved his way of turning a plot in and around itself, kind of like Amy Tan does. I don't think that I could read the Asimov book you are describing, it seems that I have developed ADD since child bearing. I can't seem to focus on any one thing anymore for more than 5 minutes or so! Have fun with your books and enjoy those luscious truffles!!!
Ah, another Bill Bryson fan! Great stuff, isn't it?

If I could be anyone in the world, it would be a toss-up between Sting and Bill Bryson. Tough call...
