Anybody reads them to learn about biology or economics? Or just for entertainment?
The oldest non-fiction book I read for serious reasons was from 1899, and I'd much rather read something more recent if it existed.
I read The Origin of Species. I wasn't trying to learn any specific thing, but I did learn from it, and it was interesting enough to finish the book. (Disclaimer: I find all kinds of history interesting, as well as biology.)
