I love when a library hold comes in just in time to start a book club. February will be the first month I‘ll actually be on schedule! 🎉

A nice book. Well written, interesting trivia (Aristotle, Freud…no, really, Freud), a wonderful little bit on Rachel Carson, some memoir with dad in Sweden, and a really strange animal that undergoes 3 metamorphoses, whose breeding is practically impossible to study (oh, dear Freud), can live 100 yrs, and is going extinct, but no one knows exactly why. A lot packed in, but Svensson keeps it short and readable. Enjoyed this with #naturalitsy

Our final discussion thread before we leave the eels behind. What stood out for you? What were your thoughts on the final chapter regarding the threat of extinction?
Was this a worthy read in your opinion?

I will start this #buddyread from the 6th Feb - 31st March. I'll post a schedule soon.
This was surprising, compelling, and thoughtful book. A little slow in places and gross in others but kept me reading and I enjoyed the conversation about it with the #naturalitsy folks. One of those “did you know” books where you share facts with anyone who happens to be nearby. The bits when he shares his relationship with his dad were my favorite. #Pantone2023 #skylight @Clwojick @AllDebooks #NonFiction2023 #RollingintheDeep

This book is as much about the author's father as it is about the fascinating mystery that is the eel. It's both informative and contemplative as for the author the eels is tied up with his relationship with his father. It's not a book I would have picked up if not for #naturalitsy, but I'm glad to know a bit more about eels.
Look what I found walking around Kapaa Kauai! Uh, no I did not purchase a tin of baby eels to nosh on. Product of Spain. I visit lots of fish markets and have never seen these. @AllDebooks #naturalitsy

Well, this short book is such a revelation about the enigmatic and intriguing European eel, Anguilla Anguilla. Svensson disperses the science, culture and myth of the eel through the centuries with short chapters detailing his experiences of eel fishing with his father in Sweden. Some of the science stories are absolutely mindblowing. I knew nothing of eels before.
