Currently re-reading. Dawkins has said that his latest book, “the genetic book of the dead” is a kind of sequel to this book.

I re-read TSG every few years or so. I do this for a few reasons. It is easily one of the finest pieces of science writing in the field. It is still entirely relevant. It is a wonderful explanation of evolution. And it is the book that caused my pivot to biology in college.
