... not Brenda Ueland. I've returned to Life and Fate and glad to be settling back into it. I'm also occasionally reading Your Inner Fish, a well written book about (gasp!) evolution.

Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin

... story and well written. My review is here. Now just starting Your Inner Fish. Am I avoiding getting back to Life and Fate? Maybe just a little....

... talked me out of trying Stories in Stone. I was considering it but it doesn't sound like I'll miss much by skipping it. Your Inner Fish was a book I enjoyed also. You've convinced me to try the Barefoot Gen books at some point in the future. Continued good reading to you.

... very fortunate to have friends and family in the UK who ensure that I have yet to miss an episode! (knock on wood) On Your Inner Fish - picked up a copy of this recently, and look forward to reading it soon!

A collection of interesting and worthwhile links related to the books I've read recently. Your Inner Fish pointed out the Tree of Life - a fantastic site for biological classification: http://tolweb.org/tree/ This is only related inside my head - a photographic Periodic Table of Elements: ...

... opened up Home by Marilynne Robinson - this year's Orange Prize winner. Also, today I finally posted a review of Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin.

Your Inner Fish is now on my wish list. Enjoyed your comments about this book!

Oh, man, I loved Your Inner Fish. It may even be one of my all-time favorite popular science books just because, while I was reading it, I kept stopping to stare in wonder at my own hands (and other bits of my anatomy) as if I were seeing them and understanding them for the first time. You ...

36. Your Inner Fish : A Journey into the 3.5-billion-year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin (c2008, 218 pages, finished September 19) I made at least two efforts abandoned at reviewing this.. ...

... I've added a several books to my wishlist, including Maps of Time, which I had never heard of before. I recently read Your Inner Fish and can add another recommendation for it. I also read Cunliffe's Europe Between the Oceans earlier this year and really enjoyed that - especially the "pr ...

I picked Ancestor's Tale instead of Your Inner Fish for the treatment of a similar theme, but that doesn't mean I won't read it one day. There are just so many I want to read -- I have nine books going at the same time right now!!! The Ancestor's Tale -- Richard Dawkins 2. The Secret Histor ...

True, but there are probably still more than there used to be! Did you get your hands on Your Inner Fish yet? (While typing this it occurred to me what odd question that is.)

This past weekend I finished Your Inner Fish : A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin. An edition of the "San Pedro River Review", a small poetry journal from Tucson, Arizona, arrived in the mail and I read through that. Next will be Barefoot Gen, Volume Thre ...

... engaging to just being a collection of trivia. This (way too long) thought process came from reading by current book, Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin, which has really gotten my attention and which I'm thoroughly enjoying. Shubin is an expert in the subject covered, he's also a very good ...

... I can't recommend this highly enough, it's by far the most powerful thing I've read this year. Currently reading Your Inner Fish : A Journey into the 3.5-billion-year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin. I just started it last night, it's entertaining so far.

... -- Robert Asprin again The Source of Magic by Piers Anthony The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan and Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin In every case either the book is a Green Dragon recommendation or I was introduced to the author by our regulars. Thank you everybody, ...

>201 Your Inner Fish sounds like something I would love. >204 I read Disgrace a few years ago and thought it was great. I could not get into Elizabeth Costello by Coetzee, though, dunno why... I moved Various Haunts of Men by Susan Hill up the TBR pile a couple of weeks ago; now I'm ...

Challenge dates: October 1, 2009 - October 1, 2010 Here are my categories and some preliminary titles for 2010. Might as well really ...

... with Sweeping Up Glass a close second. And for NonFic I think I'd have to go with either The Omnivore's Dilemma or Your Inner Fish. The best Fantasy so far has been A Song for Arbonne with Coraline as second.

I just finished (in August) Chris Wickham's Framing the Early Middle Ages, Neil Shubin's Your Inner Fish (ha, a typo made me type "Your Inner Dish", now that would be a book....) and now I am reading Genghis Khan by John Man. This last one is.... Well, let's just say mr. Man is ...

106. Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin Neil Shubin manages to take a potentially dry subject and transform it into a very accessible and enjoyable ...

Finished up Your inner fish in bed this morning, and am now starting on Genghis Khan bij John Man.

#49 , I read Your Inner Fish and enjoyed it . But it was not an easy read , after the first few chapters Shubin gets alot more scientific .

... for a little while. I started and finished The Time Traveler's Wife in one evening and one morning, and am now reading Your Inner Fish, which is more popular science and thus easier to read.

... Wife in about 7 hours, what a great read! Highly recommended if you don't mind emotional stories. Now getting into Your Inner Fish.

... book being on the Booker longlist. Will review in a day or so. Also reading a book on paleontology at the moment called Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin. Quite interesting so far, if this subject interests.

... combined/fixed that wonky book entry. In three years I've never had a book show up as 'Untitled.' #3 - I really enjoyed Your Inner Fish. I'm going to add that Fortey to my wishlist. Another book I loved reading was The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal. It's a ...

I am about halfway through Your Inner Fish right now, and I love it. Not only is it interesting to read about various aspects of paleontology and the experiences of the author, but he really simplifies many aspects of the evolution and our connection to fish (and every other creature) and ...

Yeah they all work but your first one is the best & most correct. Your Inner Fish was highly recommended to me by a member of my book 'n beer club -- did you think it was a great read?

... Did you mean this work? http://www.librarything.com/work/8403547 Looks like something I would love. I just finished off Your Inner Fish the other day, though that goes back a bit further in time than your book does. Edited to add: Okay, something is really wonky with this particular work. ...

#75 karenmarie - What a great book Your Inner Fish is. I hope Neil Shubin keeps writing. I started The World is Flat last night. I'm enjoying this immensely, too. I wish all the info in these non-fiction books would stick in my brain longer. Sadly, much of it trickles away over time.

#61 clamairy - I loved Your Inner Fish. #63 jnwelch - I'm on page of 68 of Mistress of the Art of Death and, although I struggled through the first 30 pages or so, I am now firmly hooked.

... is several years old now... one of the paleontologists involved, Neil Shubin, wrote a book on the subject, called Your Inner Fish. It's a fascinating read, which you should definitely look into...

Finished Triangle yesterday and started Your Inner Fish which is wonderful, if you're interested in any science at all.

This may be a stretch for this category, but I am in the middle of Your inner fish and since a majority of the research for this book took place in the Arctic, I guess it does qualify as a Polar region book. Dr. Shubin writes in a rambling prose, like an instructor in class, completely ...

... our lives by Leonard Mlodinow What the nose knows: The science of scent in everyday life by Avery Gilbert Your inner fish: The amazing discovery of our 375-million-year-old ancestor by Neil Shubin The winner will be announced on 15 September. benitastrnad in What Are You Reading Now? : What You Are Reading the Week of 6-12 June 2009 (Jun 9, 2009, 9:53am)

Finished listening to Your Inner Fish last night. It was my "in the car" reading. I generally don't like to listen to non-fiction as I find it much harder to digest but this book was a good listen. I did go to the library and checked out the hardcopy and to my dismay found that the book had ...

36. Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin - Interesting enough if you like evolution, but I couldn't say I really enjoyed it. It wasn't bad, just ok.

... be: Donald Prothero Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why it Matters A great look at the fossil record. Neil Shubin Your Inner Fish This is one of my favorite popular science books of last year, I've been recommending it to lots of folks. Fun writing, comes at the ...

... Team of Rivals, which was incredible. I loved it so much that I'm sad I'm finished with it! My next non-fic will be Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin.

... prize existed. Thanks for posting this kidzdoc. I have read three of them. Microcosm, The Universe in a Mirror, and Your Inner Fish. I liked all three of them. I would probably put Microcosm at the top of the list as my favorite.

I am listening to Your Inner Fish in my car. I don't usually listen to non-fiction because I find myself wanting to flip back through the pages to check on something to make connections with something the author has just brought up. However, this book is proving to be a good listen. I am also ...

I second Your Inner Fish, it was one of my favorite books from last year. It's popular science but it isn't dumbed down. I like the idea of reading one from every one of the 10 main division of a top level category. I need only a 58x from the 500s but my local libraries are a little sparse in ...

... 1 DVD, 1 trade paperback, and 2 mass market paperbacks. Here's to even less money spent next week. Just brought home: * Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin * Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler * The Sins ...

Oh, the 600s are easy for me! Let's see: 600 The Way Things Work is great fun. 611 Your Inner Fish is absolutely fascinating and also gets you QM in the LC challenge. I see you have An Anthropologist on Mars (which I'm currently reading) in your library already, which gets you 616. ...

My next book took much longer to read. (Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin)Probably because it is non-fiction and I was having a hard time concentrating. However, it was a very good book. It was a really enjoyable book and very interesting. It was easy to read and explained the technical science ...

16. Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin This was a really enjoyable book and very interesting. It was very easy to read and explained the technical science in basic language. It covers paeleontology and the finding of a creature that explains a step in evolution. With this example it also ...

Last week I read Your Inner Fish which was really interesting . This week I'm reading Bonk . Maybe this will give my love life the kick in the pants it desperately needs . LOL !

14. YOUR INNER FISH by Neil Shubin - This science book is focused on Evolution . Shubin gives the reader a "plain english" explaination of the links found in prehistoric fish and reptiles that prove they are very distant relatives to humans . It is a very interesting and easy to read book . Glad I ...

#28 - Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body By Neil Shubin

I finished Your Inner Fish last night with the author's derivation of my potential for a hernia from my difference from a shark. Then I picked up and read about half of Gertrude Bell by Georgina Howell. It is not written very well, but it is pleasant reading. I wouldn't have been good ...

... elements. His bibliography is as good as mine. I read that to the end including the discussion questions then took up Your Inner Fish which is as much a history of Neil Shubin's enthusiasms as it is a history of the human body. There is stuff here that is new since my zoology classes ...

QM: Your Inner Fish - highly recommended for this category!

13. Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin http://www.librarything.com/topic/53660#messagehead29 (message 29)

13. Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin This is a lovely book, clearly and concisely informative. Whenever I was thinking I need a diagram for this, there it was. It's not only your inner fish, it's your inner ancestry back to microbes, but the author is a paleontologist who (along with others) ...

... Another I'd recommend is A Country of Strangers: Blacks and Whites in America by the same author. I'll be finishing Your Inner Fish today. A longer description when I'm done, but in summary this is a lovely book, presenting the essentials without clutter, and with diagrams just when you ...

... that lots of people like that book Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, so I need to check that one out. Is the Your Inner Fish nonfiction? I have a couple of Darwin books on my tbr and I have heard that they are pretty easy to read, but I haven't started them yet. Have a great ...

Your Inner Fish sounds good. Ulysses can wait until Bloomsday.

I've got well over 400 on my TBR list, from Absalom, Absalom! and the Ambassadors to Ulysses and Your Inner Fish. I can't even speculate as to what is next!

... books goal. Not too bad. Favorites for the final quarter (save for the rereads of Neverwhere and The Shipping News): 1) Your Inner Fish 2) The Hunchback of Notre-Dame 3) Ubik I did clear my other goal of 120+ short stories (most of which where not included in the few anthologies ...

... nuclear fluid, and Black Hole Complementarity. At least I did, lol. My favorite science book of the year was Your Inner Fish, a wonderful biology/evolution book, really fun to read.

Hey fog-struck! Interesting list. I really liked Your Inner Fish. The firsts 75 pages or so were stressful because he was pedantic and I was afraid I wouldn't like it, but I persevered. His writing improved, in my opinion, and I really appreciated his ideas. His proofs and logic are elegant. ...

... then never tie it back. And all the way I wondered WHY these people were in The Game at all. A major disappointment. Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin was an exciting foray into paleontology. He describes human physiology in terms of the biological progression from our most ancient ...

If anybody's still here, I'll recommend Your Inner Fish, by Neil Shubin. He's a paleontologist who got starated looking for fossils from the time of the transition between sea-dwelling and land-dwelling species.

... start Pretty Little Mistakes by Heather McElhatton today. It's for our October bookclub meeting. I just finished Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin which is an excellent book on paleontology.

I'm reading Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin. It's fascinating information, but his style is not compelling. I can just see him sitting around with his colleagues being gleeful over "inner fish" and "Sonic hedgehog". Cute but not that cute. Nevertheless I'm glad I'm reading it.

... finished The Fire by Katherine Neville and am trying to get my thoughts together to write a review. Just started Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin. I loved the title and am enjoying it so far. Not stunning, mind you, but good.

Whisper1 - glad you enjoyed it too! So, an update: 48) Neil Shubin: Your Inner Fish - I don't really have a lot to add to that which I wrote above unfortunately. It's an easy read and not uninteresting, but didn't really blow my mind - the basic premise isn't really news, after all, ...

Coming along! Finished The Fire by Katherine Neville and have just started Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin.

... on Saturday, but so far loving it. I'm a bit addicted to fairy tales, of whatever description. 48) Neil Shubin - Your Inner Fish: Fairly interesting, but it turns out I'm less fascinated by evolution than I thought I was. Although that's not strictly true - I think maybe I'm less ...

Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin

I, too, lack motivation when reading non-fiction. Your Inner Fish contains some fascinating information presented in a dull and repetitive way. It's short, though, so probably worth the read.

What did you think of Your Inner Fish? I got it out the library at work a while ago and keep meaning to read it, but haven't quite got around to it (I'm afraid I always lack motivation a bit when reading non-fiction, I don't know why).

On the biological front, Your Inner Fish was also good. --k4k

I hope it's not too late for more recommendations, but I can't believe I didn't think of Your Inner Fish as a good humoured and non-confrontational approach to explaining human biological origins. OK, I'm stupid. That book was already recommended before.

Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin

Avisann-there are quite a few authors with a gift. Neil Shubin springs immediately to mind-Your inner fish explains palentology and evolution in such an entertaining way, you forget you're reading a book on comparative vertabrate zoology. :) David Sacks is similarly talented in his ...

... settings are brilliantly done. 2. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. A classic clash of cultures book. 3. Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin. A great evolution book that doesn't get bogged down in the God debate. Just some straight-up science findings. Refreshing. With some ...

>32-Did you read Your Inner fish, too? :) That book spends alot of time discussing this theory. Plus, it's a good read.

Your Inner Fish-very well written and interesting

Your Inner Fish is excellent! To steer him from young earth creationism, have him read Francis Collins' The Language of God. Collins is an evangelical, but puts forth a strong case for good science. This would be good because he advocates for evolution and science from a strongly faith-base ...

OK, since it'd been so long since I've read a QM, I went ahead and updated that one. So, QM: Your Inner Fish and QP: Bonk!

... might consider something along the lines of Why Darwin Matters or Not in our Classrooms. I was particularly struck by Your Inner Fish, in the way it just dives into evolution and adaptation-and I don't think he even mentions Darwin (which I recognize is some kind of evil buzz word for many ...

Too many books, too little year! I've added a 9th category. Couldn't resist when I heard about a book called Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin. I listened to Beowulf yesterday and today, Seamus Heaney's version. This weekend I'll read the Harvard Classics version, translated by Franci ...

I just finished Your Inner Fish and loved it. It's not exactly a page-turner, but it is facinating. I couldn't believe it-my son actually let me read pages of it at a time to him...this kid barely sits still for Goodnight Moon and Harry Potter (he's 4), but I start talking about a fish whose ...

... I'll post reviews later. One for humor/memoirs: Things I've learned from women who've dumped me One for science: Your Inner Fish

... patrons in a more focused way, but it also means we don't have much of a chance to talk books with each other. I'm reading Your Inner Fish right now and find it FACINATING. I tend to read mostly non-fiction and read almost no literature. But my assistant loves P.G. Wodehouse and Jane Aus ...

I saw Neil Shubin on The Colbert Report and heard him on NPR talking about his book. It looks really interesting.

>11 Your Inner Fish is on my wishlist. Good to see someone is enjoying it.

I'm reading Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin which is very good. Dude, not only was your great-great grandfather a monkey but your great-great-great-great grandfather was a damn fish. Actually, some of the DNA work now being done is fascinating. Good stuff.

... about it. Great insight into corporate culture from a retail perspective. Just started A Thread Across the Ocean and Your Inner Fish. And, I finally got around to reading Persepolis. Wow.

... most people who have that on their lists have Gray's Anatomy or similar, which I can't imagine actually *reading*: Your Inner Fish was on the new book display table at my local bookstore this weekend. I didn't buy it -- it looks a little lightweight -- but it went on my wishlist as a "w ...

8 is my lucky number, so I couldn't resist. I'm in the 75 book challenge but am intrigued with setting up categories and planning in advance. I'm going through my library to see what fits in the categories. * means I have the book already. 55 finished 12/28/08 Classics I should have Read ...
