Alba the bookworm: Monster of God

I saw in the Miami paparazzi pics that she was reading a book called "Monster of God". I looked it up on Amazon...pretty hardcore stuff.

Product Description:
"Rich detail and vivid anecdotes of adventure....A treasure trove of exotic fact and hard thinking."—The New York Times Book Review, front page

For millennia, lions, tigers, and their man-eating kin have kept our dark, scary forests dark and scary, and their predatory majesty has been the stuff of folklore. But by the year 2150 big predators may only exist on the other side of glass barriers and chain-link fences. Their gradual disappearance is changing the very nature of our existence. We no longer occupy an intermediate position on the food chain; instead we survey it invulnerably from above—so far above that we are in danger of forgetting that we even belong to an ecosystem.

Casting his expert eye over the rapidly diminishing areas of wilderness where predators still reign, the award-winning author of The Song of the Dodo examines the fate of lions in India's Gir forest, of saltwater crocodiles in northern Australia, of brown bears in the mountains of Romania, and of Siberian tigers in the Russian Far East. In the poignant and troublesome ferocity of these embattled creatures, we recognize something primeval deep within us, something in danger of vanishing forever.

What a random thing to read. It's seemingly pretty advanced hardcore stuff on a very narrow topic. Just goes to show, our 'lil Alba is smarter than most expect. [img]smile.gif[/img]

i read paridise lost when i was 14, i understood nothing.... Besides lets not lie to ourselves didn't she drop out of high school becuase she already had an acting job at like 15, plus she's lives in her own celebrity bubble someones probably reading the book to her.

That was a very immature comment.

Didn't Albert Einstein drop out of high school?

It's like that she has been educating herself over the years. I believe it is quite naive to think that she's been doing jack. She is obviously a smart young woman, who has a decent head on her shoulders. She is one of the few actresses who really stay down to earth, and keep it real, so to speak.

what does einstein have to do with anything? when jessica alba comes up with a new theory that shakes the science world, then you can make that comparison.

I think she was pointing out how invalid the original comparison was.

Folks, why in the hell would she pick THAT book if she wanted to pretend to be smart? And it looks like a book that you seek out, not something you see on a shelf and think to yourself, "I think I'll read this when I'm at the beach".

Furthermore, remember that Weatherly was initially attracted to Alba (aside from looks) because she was reading some pretty hardcore books and talked to him about some of the core concepts behind them.

For someone who's named "AlbaManiac", you sure are set on dissing her.
