New Naturalist books
I keep seeing these whenever I'm in bookshops. They look really nice and they're always prominently displayed in a kind of here's-an-interesting-book-you-might-want-to-buy way. Maybe like the natural history equivalent of 50 Shades of Gray or Harry Potter.
But if you flick through them they're nothing but fucking stats and graphs and HARD DATA. And then you look on the back and they cost fifty fucking quid! Who are they aimed at? Why are they being displayed so prominently? Why do they have their own section in Foyles? WHO'S BUYING THESE £50 BOOKS ABOUT GROUSE?
(And yes, this is a shit thread but that seems to be the way of things today)

Naturalist is not the same thing as Naturist you dickhead
I made a list of shit jokes that would be made in this thread
That was 8 of them.
I bet I get the other 7
if you had really wanted to avoid them
you might have preempted their inevitability in the OP
That's cheating
in all seriousness I did see the word naturalist
and then scan down and see 50 shades referenced and assumed this was some kind of posh nudey coffee table `art` book. I guess I'm meths or something.
jfc Silks have a word with this will you
agreed that the price is steep
and that it is better to observe nature than to read about it
nonetheless, this sort of aggressive anti-intellectualism...*tails off*
just like if you handle a lizard AMIRITE hehehe
