Very readable, actually. It just took me a long time to actually read them,
as they was bedtime material. Jared Diamond has been a favorite read for a
long while. He and Gould were required when I subscribed to Natural
History.

At this time, I'm reading "The Truth (with jokes)" at bedtime.
That's much more my speed.
