OG Book Club

Welcome to the OG Book Club. Once a month I plan to pick a book, preferably plant related, to read and discuss with the larger group here at OG. This thread will server as a sort of table of contents, I will keep this first post up to date with books as they are discussed. To make discussions more focused, each book will have its own thread. This thread will also server as a place for suggested books, and polls for future reading. So let’s sit back, grab a book, and get started.

Book Club Books:
Botany of Desire: A Plant’s-Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan.
What a Plant Knows by Daniel Chamovitz
Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet by Oliver Morton

reading Neal Asher’s Spatterjay triology. started the first book yersterday.

Neat! Let’s need out together!!

So, I’ve written a book review for December, “What a plant knows” by Chamovitz.

Does that belong here or would that be a faux pas? It’s a really thought provoking book.

I bow to your decree @ReikoX.

So if anyone wants to start a “Book Club” just make a thread with the format OG Book Club: Title of Book. I’ll post a link on the fist post. How does that work for you?
