Reading: The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins

Why did I wait so long to read this? Once this code is fully inserted into my matrix, I fear everything will have changed. It is absolutely brilliant and revelatory. Only 50 pages since yesterday and it’s, pardon my euphemism, like finding religion. Ha! I thought The God Delusion was masterful, but this, this is beyond anything I could have expected. Anyone with an interest in evolution and science should put this at the top of their reading list.

    Same for me! Have had it for ages and no idea why I haven’t read it. Are you going to post a more detailed review of it when you’re done? I’d be interested to hear about it.

    I don’t know. Reviewing books is insane. I don’t write notes down or anything. I usually write quick reviews in my book list . It’s not as simple as writing a movie review. Movies are usually 2 hours and better imprinted in memory than a book.

    That’s why i do it! Otherwise I’d forget so quickly that I’ve even read the book. :)

    Oh! Well I go through many books and magazines. If I forget one I’ll just re-read it :D Like watching a good movie over and over again.
