Reading about Mr. Darwin

Well, as long as I am posting lists here is a listing of books and DVDs. In no particular order, mixed non-fiction/fiction, some I've read, some I'm reading and some I will read. . . But I will tell you that the book that started it all for me was actually one of fiction - it was my first reading (some 30 years ago, I think. . .) of Irving Stone's "Origin" (I've re-read it countless times since). Stone has written a number of historical fiction novels - they all are backed up by massive and meticulous research into the subject matter. His writing shares a real excitment and feel for the subject matter - it transports you.
