I gave-up long ago trying to curb my addiction. My name is Rick... and I'm a Book-aholic, um, bibliophile... I'm hooked on books. My paycheck took a ding yesterday at the bookstore where in addition to a bunch of other titles, I picked-up The Silent Deep by Tony Koslow.The Silent Deep tells the stories of discovery of the deep sea, the ecologies of its ecosystems, and of the impact of humans, highlighting the importance of global stewardship in keeping this delicate ecosystem alive and well. Lots of attention to deep sea corals, which is an added bonus. While not packing the full visual oomph of The Deep, my new favorite coffee table book of deep sea critters by Claire Nouvian, it makes up for it in content.
Plus, it kicks off with a classic 1983 New Yorker cartoon by Charles Saxon. I thought I'd include it only to goad the boys over at Deep Sea News.

There is an easy way to solve your bibliophilia. Just join a bookclub that includes a giant squid among its members (~01:10).
I regularly use that same cartoon in my talks
