    I tried to read it this year in celebration. I got stuck at about page 240. I found it very difficult. I would say I understood only about 50% of what I read (that is being generous to myself) It is a fascinating subject. I am currently reading The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins. It is a very good book. The chapter on embryology was lost on me.

    I got a two in one, book of The Voyage of the Beagle and Origin. Voyage is first and I'm enjoying it so far. Great to see how passionate he was and how he just loved the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Definitely inspires me to work harder at college.
