"Art in Science: Selections from Emerging Infectious Disease" by Polyxeni Potter

The journal's highly popular fine-art covers are contextualized with essays that address how the featured art relates to science, and to us all. Through the combined covers and essays, the journal's contents -- topics such as infections, contagions, disease emergence, antimicrobial resistance -- find larger context amid topics such as poverty and war, the hazards of global travel, natural disasters, and human-animal interactions.

Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior by Leonard Mlodinow


No Respect: Intellectuals and Popular Culture by Andrew Ross

I read "The Fault in Our Stars" yesterday and this morning and was surprised at the decency of the writing. Loved how the author captured the "otherworld" created with two people in love and two people in love and dying.
A nice, if not heart-jerking read.

John Green seems to be the newest author on my "read everything they've done" list.

"Looking for Alaska" is next. Working at home today and always enjoy a good audiobook while coding. Both sides of the brain engaged! WEE.

Reading a bunch of mind-bending stuff for a general semantics class.
Although, I'm getting pulled in by the works of Alfred Korzybski.

For fun, I'm still trying to find time to finish We Are Water by Wally Lamb. Each time I get to pick up the book I feel as though I'm starting over.

The dance of deception : pretending and truth-telling in women's lives / Harriet Goldhor Lerner

Book List Review


While lying is socially taboo, pretending things are other than they are is not only sometimes acceptable but often encouraged and rewarded. Patriarchal culture teaches women to pretend and sometimes deceive, Lerner says, and in her study of the role this dissembling plays in women's lives, she shows how "pretending reflects deep prohibitions, real and imagined, against a more direct and forthright assertion of self." Lerner uses anecdotal examples to illustrate how and why women show the false and hide the real. Her examples and accompanying discussions cover self-deception, protection of others from painful truths, privacy, and family secrets, and each section clearly points out how deception is incorporated into women's lives and how they can learn to purge it from their behavior. She acknowledges that truth telling is not easy, yet her discussion of the many ways women lie and how lying affects them clearly shows the benefits of honesty and makes her prescription appealing. ~--Lindsay Throm

I taught "The Fault in Our Stars" this semester to a group of Grade 12s. We all loved it!

The Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter

Thought I'd check out the book before the movie is released on Feb 7th. If your interested in art, history, or just looking for a very interesting read, I'd suggest this book!

I am reverting back to my teenage years and rereading Flowers in the Attic.

Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma: The Innate Capacity to Transform Overwhelming Experiences by Peter A. Levine and Ann Frederick

Dr. Levine is just an amazing psychologist. I've also had the pleasure of watching him work with traumatized patients and see the difference he can make.

Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry

I found a bunch of the old Point Horror young adult series and rereading... haven't read any since I was about 14 I guess... they are so fun! Very quick reads of course, very simple. But nice bit of nostalgia for me.

Can I push the book I am reading written by a friend (pls excuse my name dropping, lol).I have a friend for 39 years who writes. Her most well known work (at least for a certain niche) was Ann Frank Remembered.

She has just published a novel "The Woman Who Brought Matisse Back from the Dead". I am enjoying this instead of reading books for work

Dipping around in my book called

"Cut your grocery bill in half by Americas Cheapest Family"

BRAVO! Amazing read. And some really awesome tips
