Just what I need...

another book! Yes, I was seduced by The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature by Matt Ridley, so I bought a copy, even though I was NOT going to buy any more books until after I got moved.

Why did it seduce me? He gives the first lay explanation of evolution I have read in a long time that didn't make me want to throw the book across the room in frustration. If it holds up, I plan to force all my friends to read it. You Have Been Warned.

Just what was I doing in a bookstore if I didn't intend to buy books? Well, trying to find a copy of Pox Americana for the reading group next weekend. Maybe I'll show up anyway without having read it, like I used to do in lit class...
