      Yes I have, twice. I think it’s one of the best-written books ever published. My favourite quote from it is right at the end: “from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved”. If you haven’t read it then I strongly recommend it!

      Yes! A bit heavy in places, but a very important book!
