Carl Zimmer

[beautifulduckweed]

I've never heard of Carl Zimmer before, ohhh, a couple of weeks ago, but I looked through his published booklist, and OMG, it's enough to make any geek girl interested in the history of science cream her pants.

(BUT I DON'T WEAR PANTS! HA! HA!)

(Also, Carl Zimmer looks pretty hot in that one picture of his. I'd hit it.)

Anyway, have any of youse read his books? Are they any good? They all sound fascinating.

Soul Made Flesh: The Discovery of the Brain--and How it Changed the World

Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures (This one looks really, really cool, and oh, the lust I harbor in my heart for it, despite the couple hundred books already awaiting my attention on my bookshelves.)

At the Water's Edge : Fish with Fingers, Whales with Legs, and How Life Came Ashore but Then Went Back to Sea (The prospect of reading this one gives me happy goosebumps, too.)

Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea

Smithsonian Intimate Guide to Human Origins

I'm thinking I have to burden to my already-massive Library Holds list even further...
