In my 30 minute bus commute to and from work, I've taken to reading non-fiction books. The one I'm reading now is a best seller (deservedly) on evolutionary biology: Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation by Olivia Judson. It's hilarious and thought-provoking by turns. Judson poses as an advice columnist for various strange creatures. Eg:
I found out about the book via her online column at the NYT, which includes a link to the first few pages.
I also recently completed a reread of "The Hobbit." Judson is more fun
Dear Dr Tatiana
I've heard it's going to take three weeks to make just one sperm. Apparently this is because it's going to need a tail twenty times longer than my whole body. This seems awfully unfair: I'm just a little fruitfly, Drosophilia bifurca. Can't I get a prothesis?
