^I finished tackling "The way we work" - really studied the illustrations, gained a greater appreciation for how my body works (the Pancreas was probably the hardest to understand until it "clicked" - how it balances out blood sugar levels, and having diabetes in the family tree, i really wanted to understand the process). Now I'm going through "How the Mind works", one of Steven Pinkers massive volumes. I read "The Language Instinct" many many years ago and learned so much that I've been scared to pick this one up for years - but I've finally gotten around to it - 14 years later.^
