Having finished #APrimatesMemoir by Robert Sapolsky this evening (more on that later) I shall be starting 2023 in the company of Professor Alice Roberts and 'Buried: An Alternative History of the First Millennium in Britain' - a present from the man himself 🎅

Has anyone read it?

The poll to select the next read for the #WhiteHorseBookgroup has closed. The group will read Invisible Women by Caroline Oriado Perez starting 15th January.

Thanks to all who voted.

Why not read along with us! I will hopefully be posting additional material as we read along.

If you have a suggestion for a future #NonFictionBook toot me!

In the poll to select next month's book for the #NonFiction #bookgroup 4 books tied with the same number of votes.

Therefore a run off poll, what book should we read as January's #WhiteHorseBookgroup read?

Laugh out load moment in #APrimatesMemoir Robert Sapolsky is describing an elderly Masai man 'The rest of him is burlap skin and dry branch bones except for his ass and upper thighs, which look like burlap stuffing with steel ball bearings.'

@SteveMino
You are further than me! Life has taken over a bit but now ready to read having worked through all obligations. Really enjoyed what I have read and looking forward to getting stuck in 📚

@catblack I’m almost two thirds of the way through and finding it really gripping for #NonFiction. The way the story moves between the behaviour of the baboons, the problems directly related to studying the baboons and the geopolitical problems of Africa in general keeps the whole narrative moving along without getting bogged down.

This was a good call for a first book to read in the #WhiteHorseBookgroup #WHBookgroup #Bookstodon #BookClub #AmReading #APrimatesMemoir by Robert Sapolsky

Really enjoyed the beginning of #APrimatesMemoir by Robert Sapolsky. Very engaging writing with a definite sense of humour and it's clear the baboons are to be characters in their own right.

A shocking ending to chapter 1 which illustrates baboons are, unfortunately, more like us than maybe we believe.
