Alex

Alex tries to read everything and flat-out fails. He still plugs away though (valiantly or stupidly -- your call), and especially loves books on natural history, animals, music, history, memoirs/biographies, and the science and philosophy of consciousness.

These are on Alex's staff picks shelf right now. Unless someone just bought one.
