Read More Science Book Club discussion

Welcome to the group! I want to start off with sharing two books that got me hooked on science nonfiction. I loved Michael Pollan's THE BOTANY OF DESIRE and Ed Yong's I CONTAIN MULTITUDES. They made me realize that anybody can read and enjoy books about science.

What books got you interested in science? Which one is your favorite?

Neil DeGrasse Tyson's book of essays - death by black hole and other cosmic quandaries - is actually how I ended up starting on a career path towards astronomy!

Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body and The Universe Within: The Deep History of the Human Body (both by Neil Shubin) are some of my favorites of all time. Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space is also very high up there!

My favorite science books are those by Isaac Asimov. Yes, I like his fiction, but I especially love his science nonfiction, particularly his collections of essays for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
