The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan

4.0

I enjoyed the structure of the book, and the section on cannabis has really made me rethink my beliefs on how people should interact with mind-altering substances - can't say yet that I have changed my beliefs, but any book that gets me to ponder in such a way is a good book indeed. (other parts of the book got me thinking as well - I really enjoyed his writing about the different ways we have overdomesticated apples, overpesticized potatoes and the not very hidden risks of genetically engineered pest free potatoes.)

Really interesting, and now I am tempted to have all of my nonfiction through audio mp3 clips in the car.
