Feeling like the stories and anecdotes are good, but it somehow lacks detail and specificity that I hoped for.

Bike for Life: How to Ride to 100--and Beyond, revised edition

David is on page 312 of 476 of Watership Down
The plan to steal does from Efrafa is underway. Bigwig has waltzed into their midst, claiming he wants to join up, and because they are short on capable members now for various reasons he's being put right to work. Just before this, Hazel and co. had checked out the river and the big bridge before finding a smaller footpath bridge and a boat/raft that they think might be useful to escape from Woundwort with does.

Watership Down

David is on page 71 of 119 of The War of the Worlds
The narrator's brother's story, of meeting 2 ladies with a pony carriage, and the human stream they had to navigate as they fled, and the Martians pursuing the boats that were attempting to carry refugees out of England and possibly to France. Chaos!

The War of the Worlds

David
David is on page 61 of 594 of Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meaning of Life
Ch2 with a long discussion about algorithms, and how natural selection is one such. The summary of Darwin's dangerous idea is basically that the algorithm did not have anything like a "goal" of producing us, that there's no guarantee we would result if time could be rewound and evolution rerun.

Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meaning of Life

David
David is on page 205 of 224 of The Order of Time
Quoting an Indian epic, Mahabharata, in this book's final chapter. The question "what is the greatest of all mysteries" is answered "Every day countless people die, and yet those who remain live as if they were immortal." And a few sentences later he references the text of Bach's BWV 56 cantata.

This is not your typical physics book. :-)
