Pretty self-explanatory.
I liked 'Being a Biologist' by Jan Janovy (sp?)
Lives of The Cell was good too.
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek had a *few* memorable passages.

Re: Good 'biogeeks' themed books?
Sun, August 17, 2008 - 9:29 PMI read "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" too long ago to remember anything specific, but I remember that I enjoyed reading it.
Have you read "The Way of the Cell" by Franklin Harold?
How about "Advice for a Young Investigator" by Ramon y Cajal?
Summer is almost over! I know you want to take one of these books to the beach with you!
I haven't read "Being a Biologist", I'm going to put that one on my list. Thanks for your post, Randy
PS In "Advice for a young Investigator" Cajal mentions several "diseases of the will", one of which is reading too much, make of that what you will..... -

Sun, August 24, 2008 - 7:46 PM...interesting, have you read my profile?
Yeah, Timker Creek isn't too bad, it does seem a little pretentious sometimes though but it's well worth the brilliant moments.
Thanks for the suggestions. -

Classic.
And I also think reading is a sort of escapism...that's what i meant by the 'have you read my profile' thing.

Thu, December 25, 2008 - 2:48 AMSomeone suggested I read Popper...Karl Popper I guess.
Isn't there someone more down-to-Earth or at least modern / relevant I could read
for my 'big questions in Biology' needs?
