Thanks, Hermetic. Since other regulars to this ongoing thread have mentioned non-fiction, and it has been okay with Hermetic, I thought some might find this book interesting. Though the main sections are about elephants, wolves, and killer whales, the book, in general, examines the similarity between human and non-human consciousness, self-awareness, and empathy. Got this as an inter-library loan, which allows a month to read it.
