After explaining the destructive force of a single raindrop over a kilometer in diameter:

Fear reigns supreme as the world fears rain supreme

Poetry. True poetry.

I can only recommend Randall Munroe's books "what if", " how to" and "what if 2". They are really entertaining comedy.

Think explainer was great if you were in for that sort of thing.

That one, I wasn't a big fan of. But maybe that's because I am not a native English speaker. Maybe its better for native speakers.

I could absolutely understand the difficulty of a non native English speaker in understanding the extreme amount of implication and nuance that book requires.

Using simpler words does not mean a smoother conveyance of information.
