Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness by Peter Smith is one of the best books I've read this year. Give it a try if you are into science books.

Good to hear, I have Other minds waiting, as well as Caesar's last breath. I have read our group reads, they are fine and Soonish, which I listened, it would have been better in other format, I think, it has some humour or comics which didn't really translate audio format. I would like to read The Nature Fix and maybe We have no idea and Pandora's lab. The Greatest story ever told was not my taste.

I kind of want to read Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong, but my library doesn't have a copy, so I'd have to buy it and it's still a bit pricey. The paperback only costs slightly less than the $15.99 Kindle, so I'd probably go with the Audible, but I'm not sure I want to read it enough to do that yet.

I'm also interested in The Nature Fix. I may get around to that one some day when I'm in the right mood.

The ones I want to read are: Caesar's Last Breath, Other Minds, Pandora's Lab, Soonish, Death and Life of Great Lakes
