“Poetry is not efficient. If you want to learn how to cook a #lobster, it‘s probably best not to look to poetry. But if you want to see the word lobster in all its reactant oddity, its pied beauty, as if for the first time, go to poetry. And if you want to know what it‘s like to be that lobster in the pot, that‘s in poetry too.” #QuotsyJun21
pickAn interesting look at lobsters and the lobster fishery. I learned a lot about how lobsters communicate and reproduce—and the take-charge role that the female lobsters play in the process. This book was published in 2004, so the typeface feels dated and there may be newer developments in lobster science. Still, this is worth a read.

In a stroke of luck, I am currently reading the book in the middle of the board 😆
It's that time again for me to purge my shelves and pass on books to my fellow Littens with some #PayItForward GiveAways. 🎉
Next up is a used paperback copy of a nonfiction book all about lobsters and lobstermen, The Secret Life of Lobsters.
If you'd like to have this book simply comment below and let me know. US only please since we still have shipping restrictions here.
Enjoy! 😁
pickSince the beaches have been closed, I‘ve been missing the ocean terribly. This book helped me feel a little more connected. It was a fun, easy popular science read. I didn‘t find it dry at all; it was a refreshing work of nonfiction to break up the run of novels I‘ve been sailing through. A few off-color jokes/remarks aside, I largely enjoyed this book.
pickFascinating read! I learned so much reading this, not just about lobsters but about the lobstermen as well. This book is a bit one sided though since the focus is mostly from the side of the fishermen, but it does bring the scientist's side in on some issues. Regardless, it's a great read. It isn't written like a stuffy scientific paper, and yet it still is packed with tons of information.
