Peter is reading The Evolution of Beauty: How Darwin's Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World—And Us
His observations on birds are fascinating. Once he moves on to humans I think he is less convincing but nonetheless thought provoking. Well worth the read.

Peter is reading A History of Japan
Not very well written. Assumes the reader knows the details. Does not make it live.
