I have read A Brief History of Nearly Everything and I consider it a must-read for everyone. It is quite a project though, but I learned things that I never would have had I not read his book. So amazing. I love all of Bill Bryson's stuff, especially A Walk in the Woods, and In a Sunburned Country, but Short History is his best.

I just watched a show on Science Channel called The Search for Particle X and I almost cried at the end! The best chance of finding it at the LHC/Cern and they didn't :(
