Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness | Peter Godfrey-Smith

16 Feb - A History of Animals
23 Feb - Mischief and Craft
2 Mar - From White Noise to Consciousness

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie how did you see that so fast?! 2w

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics just logged in 🤣 I just put it on hold hopefully it arrives soon. 2w

kspenmoll I will check this book out-see if library has it. 2w

ravenlee Ok, I‘ll give this a try. I was getting all confused because Litsy wasn‘t showing it as read but I thought I had…I did read this about five years ago. I liked it but don‘t remember it and still have it, so I guess it‘s time. 2w

AlaSkaat Looks good. I‘ll try getting the book by end of this month 2w

This also sounds fun. Let me know if you‘d rather read this (or something like it). This seems like it might be a bit more upbeat… which I feel like we need these days.

AlaSkaat This sounds a lot more interesting and less daunting! 2w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat that‘s what I thought! 2w

AlaSkaat When do you guys think of starting? 2w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat that‘s going to be my next question. Do we want to start later in January or wait for February? 2w

AlaSkaat @GingerAntics February would be ideal for me, but I‘m open to anything 2w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat February 2nd is the first Sunday, and that actually gives us 4 Sundays between now and then, so everyone would have time to get a copy and what not. 2w

AlaSkaat Works for me. How would we do it this time? I read one of your comments where you said questions were hard to come up with, we could try something easier ? 2w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I‘m thinking either just open the discussion, maybe have one question to start things. I thought about opening it up so if anyone had something they wanted to discuss they could post it and we could all join in. In the Shakespeare group we just had a post and it was a discussion free for all. That wouldn‘t be so bad. 2w

AlaSkaat @GingerAntics yeah, we can try doing that 2w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I feel like the conversations are more organic that way and they‘re easier to have. You just kind of jump in. If a topic gets a ton of traction or something, we could make a separate post for it just to keep things organised if we needed to. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2w

AlaSkaat @GingerAntics That sounds good. We‘ll see how the discussions go next time 2w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat if it doesn‘t work, we can always go back or try something else. I‘m always open to ideas. 2w

kspenmoll My son thinks he has this- now to find it in his extensive somewhat chaotic library!!!! 2w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll love that! Fingers crossed you can find it! 2w

Secrets of the Octopus | Sy Montgomery

pick

I like Soul of an Octopus better than this because the most charming part of Sy‘s books are her anecdotes about her times with the animals. This was more speaking of other folks encounters and while interesting it didn‘t work quite as well for me. That said, there are beautiful photos and plenty of science in here, and if you‘re a cephalopod fan you‘ll probably love it. 🐙

Sietje is trying to be patient about dinner time.

Criaturas Luminosas / Remarkably Bright Creatures | Shelby Van Pelt

so-so

Not my usual read but found this enjoyable. I listened to it on Spotify. If I read it physically I‘m positive I would‘ve DNF‘d it. The audiobook version helped me finish. Slow paced but satisfying and heartwarming in the end.

The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness | Sy Montgomery

pick

This was my book club‘s most recent pick, and while the others struggled to dive in, I was completely captivated! This National Book Award finalist reads more like a memoir than a science text. Through chapters dedicated to the different octopuses she meets, Montgomery explores her admiration and curiosity for these creatures. This book leaves you feeling hopeful and in awe of the wonders of marine life. Great on audio! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars ❤️📚

AvidReader25 I loved this one too! 3mo
