I’ve bought multiple copies of The Soul of The White Ant mainly because I like to recommend it to people and no-one thinks a book about termites will be interesting until they have it in front of them. It’s pretty short and everyone I’ve given a copy to has read and enjoyed it.

For me it’s The Soul of The White Ant by Eugène Marais, it’s about termites. I’ve recommended it to everyone I know who likes books and I keep a couple of copies because it’s a hard sell. Such a lovely little book.
