Being a Beast: Adventures Across the Species Divide by Charles Foster
2.0
Dnf. This guy has some gumption.
This is a book about his attempts to live like various creatures. For example, he burrows into a dirt hole and hangs out for a few hours and then his friend drives up and brings him sandwiches and coffee. Idk. It’s just weird but not in a compelling way. In the introduction he apologizes for writing the book..like he started it and realized it was BS but had nothing else going on and decided to finish and publish it. I’m not even sure if he is a scientist.
