Howdy fellow intellectual/addict!
Currently I'm reading Michael Pollen's "Botany of Desire" about how how plants interface/manipulate humans (spec: Apple, Orhid, Marijuana, Potatoe). There is a salacious passage on sexual reproduction strategies, involving bees ("flying penises") and this plant that "play resists" the bees entering — and then author Pollen ends his description of this interface by suggesting: many people might see this as the bee penetrating the coy defences of the flower, but in fact it is the flower manipulating bees.
I'm gonna give you the first recommendation free, but the next one'll cost'ya =D
