I have read Botany of Desire, yes, it was fascinating. The idea of dedicating a chapter each to the history of the apple, the potato, the tulip, and cannabis was quirky and intriguing enough to get me to buy it. He took the seemingly mundane and made it into a rich read indeed. It was such a joy to read I will pick up anything he writes from now on.
