I really enjoyed Michael Pollan's rambling essays about human relationships with four plants (apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes). All contained some really interesting historical and botanical factoids, but sometimes he rambled a little too much. I occasionally felt like I was rereading the same information explained in a slightly different way, perhaps in his attempt to make connections overly clear.
