Remembered an oldie: The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester

I have a copy of The Professor and the Madman at home. A great read.

Apologies if these have been posted already, but I'd highly recommend Simon Winchester's work, particularly The Professor and the Madmad and Krakatoa.

Well researched, well written and thoroughly enjoyable.

Cool! Birthderp present from my Mom. Have your read these? I think they are great:
