I just finished reading (listening to) a book that came out in 2010 some might find interesting. If you hated chemistry in school or were just mystified by it, this book might change your opinion.
The book is "The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements."
The discovery of the chemical elements was a messy, funny, and competitive process. You were not likely to get these stories in class. I highly recommend it.
