These are a few of the books that I would like to read if I had the time. I know they are all about animals…but I like animals.

The Wisdom of Birds. Everybody knows that “the bird is the word!” This book looks really cool. Maybe I am just hoping that it will fulfill my dream of flying, I’m not sure. But it does talk about the myths and the history of an amazing creature. This book describes behaviors and songs, misconceptions of birds, and includes some gorgeous illustrations that make the book worth flipping through even if you don’t want to read it.

American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon. This is about an amazing animal that definitely deserves your attention. A vague memory I have from when I was small is being on a cross-country trip with my family and getting to see one of these fascinating animals.

This, I now realize, is an even more special memory due to their declining numbers; as a person who cares for animals, any further knowledge on how to share the land with them is great knowledge. Also within the book you’ll find a lot of Native American history. It is on the top of my list for the next book to read.

The Superorganism. Wow. What a book. It is a New York Times Notable Book of 2008 and has received a “Dan!!” stamp of approval. It has sparked interest amidst the Globe Corner Colony as well. If you are a “bug friendly” person, the pictures in this book are spectactular.
