About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

Finished Fingersmith (Waters) - fun story, long winded, but had to read until the plot played out...Reading Paris to the Moon.
Survival of the Sickest.
Evolutionary biology: how a disease that may kill you in old age(such as hemachromatosis or diabetes)may help you survive an immediate threat (bubonic plague, TB, ice age)and allow you to live long enough to reproduce. One of my favorites!
(P.S.: Still have lots of orphan books that need good homes.)
I'm still working on Mainstays. Less enchanted with it than I was, so it's slow going. Probably once again not going to quite finish it in time for tomorrow night.
Mary, I'd take the Zombie Survival Guide--I seem to have missed that title the first time I looked through your list. I loved Stiff, and have kids from the high school lined up to borrow it, so it's getting plenty of use!
Sure, Danika. (That may be the most practical book I own.) Might you also be interested in Complications, Atul Gawande. He is exceedingly readable, talks as an 8-th year surgical resident about everything that can and will go wrong in medicine, and why some of it is unavoidable. Let me know, here or FB, and I'll bring by Zombie soon.
