Energy, Evolution, and the Origins of Complex Life

I couldn't do it. I put this on my list after Bill Gates said such nice things about it. But damn is this book boring. I did it on audiobook and it was just unworkable. I've never had something put me to sleep faster. I literally had to stop listening to it while driving because it made me so tired. Emily was having trouble sleeping once and specifically requested that I play this book to her her get to sleep. This is not a joke.
All I really got out of this is that Lane thinks that the origins of life are from super hot vents at the bottom of the ocean.
I didn't finish the book. Just so dry.
