Origin of Species

I'm just curious how many of you have actually read this? Is it worth a read or is it incredibly dry?

Read it. It's free.

I'd prefer a hard copy, appears to be about $7-$10. I'll probably pick it up this weekend.
Yeah, $6.95 at Barnes and Noble

I read it in small portions on my phone regularly. It is not dry. I am making a case to use it as the bridge between where the AP English courses are moving and our science department, since it is both beautifully written and critically important on a scientific level. Cross-curriculum is becoming a strength.

Yes, I have. I enjoyed it greatly. You obviously have to keep in mind that so much more is known today than when it was written, but that doesn't take away from the beauty of it.

I'm actually trying to find a decently rare (but attainable) copy as a collector. I've never read it cover to cover. As science it's out of date, but as a point of interest in the history of biology (and culture) it's priceless.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
