The Soul of the Octopus

"From Sy Montgomery's lovely 'The Soul of an Octopus': An octopus would make a terrible pet, but not because they're dangerous. Rather, they're playful and smart and usually gentle with humans."

"Sy Montgomery's "The Soul of an Octopus" is a dream."

"That the plural of octopus is octopuses, _not_ octopi, since you can't put a Latin "i" ending on a Greek word. Just one of the interesting things I learned from "The Soul of an Octopus," by Sy Montgomery."

"Another favorite is "The Soul of the Octopus," by Sy Montgomery. It really made me think about consciousness."
