University of Minnesota climatologist Mark Seeley says that reading has been a big part of his life since he was a child, when he read everything from Doctor Doolittle to Mark Twain.

These days, most of his reading is related to his academic work, and it's harder for him to devote as much time to reading books for pleasure. But when he can steal some time, he heads for humor writers.
