Christine Carney asked Thor Hanson:

Reading your works has helped me to discover my love of reading natural history. Your writing is such a pleasure, I run through your books much too fast! What do you read for pleasure?

Thor Hanson Hi Christine,

Thanks for your question, and for the kind words! My reading list is extremely varied - from scientific papers and creative nonfiction to novels and poetry. I enjoy all of it (or at least aspects of all of it!), but for pure relaxation I'm a great fan of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories (and Laurie King's terrific Mary Russell spin-offs), as well as anything by P. G. Wodehouse or poets like Mary Oliver and Billy Collins.

Does "The Triumph of Seeds" have photos that accompany the writing? As an anthropologist I am incredibly interested in this book! I can't wait to read it but I'm waiting to see if I win it first ;) Thanks for writing it.
