Seems A Brief History of Time Should be out of the running since it seems to not be available in the US.

Gotta love geographic restrictions and clueless publishers.

Well, as I said, A Briefer History of Time is available in the U.S., and it's pretty much the same book, only updated and slightly longer (go figure--it must have something to do with relativity).

There are 224 pages in the hardcover edition of A Brief History of Time.

There are 256 pages in the hardcover edition of A Briefer History of Time.

Both are excellent. The Kindle edition of A Briefer History of Time is here.

That I did not know. Too bad the library doesn't have it. Maybe I'll request it and hope they get it.

And so Darwin's masterwork goes into the voting. (Stiff and The Omnivore's Dilemma were already there). You guys are killing me!

I would have loved to put down Quirkology, but it's not available for Australians... Sounds really interesting...

All the others I found interesting were also not available for me.

MAJOR BUMMER!!! (Formerly known as General Bummer, but he got demoted.)

All these differences in geographic distribution are getting tiresome. Come on, publishers! Get your international act together!

I just bought "Stiff." Maybe it'll win and I'll get lucky. I wanted to read it anyway
