DNA Quote: Larry McMurtry on Books
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted August 3, 2007 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
From A Book Addict’s Treasury by Julie Rugg & Lynda Murphy:
The ability to remember exactly where books are is a skill vital to the serious book scout - but it is such a peculiar skill that one suspects it must be genetically determined.
~Larry McMurtry, Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen
I think I have the “book scout gene.” What about you?

It’s an excellent book. Last place I would expect to see if mentioned was in a blog about DNA, though. Gotta love the blogoshpere.
Stick around, Beth. You’ll find that DNA pretty much figures into all aspects of life!
