[QUOTE="Peter Clausen, post: 228619, member: 421"] Just finished The Hobbit in preparation for watching the movie this week. Loved the Lord of the Rings movies! Currently rereading Species Seekers by Richard Conniff because I love it. It's all about the men and women (and consequently their families) that have devoted or allowed their lives to be devoted to the quest for species. It's a fantastic read that makes me long for summer days and bug-collecting road trips...and the future where I retire and just drive around the US looking for bugs all the time. I enjoyed collecting 23 Larinioides cornutus (Furrow Orbweaver) in the eaves of my house today, in my shorts, on a ladder and in the rain. I had my headlamp on under my ball cap so that I could see in all the nooks and crannies (furrows, I suppose). I know my neighbors think I'm nuts, but what better things were they up to? Reading good books, perhaps? If you like natural history or can relate at all to collecting insects or even just like to chuckle every few moments, read Species Seekers! I had a conversation with the author on his blog a year or so ago. Amazing writer! Golden Compass...I think my son picked that up at the library last week. [/QUOTE]
