A review by chloekg
The Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan

3.0

A fabulous investigation on the many ways to explore a plant, it's an easy and interesting read that can instill some serious insight. That said, I can't deny my friend who grew up the son of a farmer and described it as "intellectual fappery." As with any book, it depends on what background knowledge you bring to the reading. For those without such exposure, it's a great introduction to an indispensable and largely unnoticed world.
