Weschler -59

I liked that the Weschler finally incorporated the ant inhaling the spore introduction into the story about the museum. It made the intro more meaningful and relevant to the important of this tiny museum that he mentions may be completely overlooked if you did not already know it was there. Continuing the reading, the book takes on a more story-like feel and guides us through this museum that seems to hold so much significance to the people who are directly involved in its creation. The Wilson's not only live in the museum, but seem very involved and knowledgable on the exhibits and what they mean to the museum itself. What I find fascinating is the rich history of this museum of history. There's an entire story to the way that the museum came into existence and the way Weschler unfolds it is captivating.
