London cab driver Will Grozier's current reading recommendations range from a book on Darwin to the relentlessly popular 'Da Vinci Code.'

We often chat with the driver when riding in the back seat of a taxi cab, but the conversation usually ends when we get out of the cab.

Grozier talks about the books he has just finished and what's next on the agenda.
