I really should read The Hot Zone at some point. I’ve read other science writers deploring inaccuracies in it, but that kinda made me more curious, hahaha.
This is a good idea. I might join this Challenge as Grazer too. Into the Wild is a must read … but bring the Kleenex box.
Delighted to have you participate in the Nonfiction Reader Challenge , I look forward to you sharing what you choose to read
