What else where you exalting? My memory is a sieve.
Oh, who knows? That was soooo last week. ;-)
Prompted by reading a selection of old LJ posts of my own, I did just revisit "The Tapir's Morning Bath" which describes the lives and studies of a group of scientists at the Barro Colorado Island Research Center, an island in the panama canal where some of the finest tropical biology research takes place. An informed and occasionally amusing look at field work and the people who do it...and why.
OTOH, I just re-read "The Black Gryphon" yesterday for the hell of it...so I'm a little ecclectic at the moment.
