A beautiful collection of Gould's writing. Been thinking a lot about wonder recently, and think that he does a phenomenal job of conveying his own sense of wonder and inspiring others to ponder the world about them as well. Especially liked the essay on Nabokov and conventions and Gilbert and Sullivan and Karl Marx's connection with Darwinism and well, pretty much all of them. Since the book is a collection of articles, it's easy to read them one at a time, in no particular order. And where you think you might skip some, don't be surprised if you read them all!
