Title: Next Author: Michael Crichton Genre: Science Fiction/Medical The first of my completed reads this week was Crichton's typical medical-terminology filled Next, which despite not being my normal, was excellent. I'm not usually into this type of thing, but my s.o. if (being a scientist) and after having taken History of Medicine, I was thrilled when he let me read it. The book follows a handful of researchers, doctors, politicians, lawyers, and general no-good, greedy men out to patent everyone's genes for their own benefit. Most of the characters leave you wanting to shoot them, and by the time the book is done, you'll never want to see another doctor again. I don't. The most interesting, at least for me, was the intricate weave of fact and fiction throughout the novel. I was constantly researching to see what was true, what wasn't, and always looking at the sources he listed to see the actual documents he used. I think he's highlighted a major problem in American medical practices in a fun way-a book! Title: Demon in the Freezer Author: Richard Preston Genre: Nonfiction/Medical This is actually a nonfiction book that reads like a science fiction novel, much like watching a Hollywood version of an Ebola outbreak. The book details the eradication of smallpox, research on the disease, Ebola and Marburg outbreaks, and finally, biowarfare in the form of Anthrax letters in the 2000s. It was recommended by my professor, and I confess, I never put it down until I was finished with it. If anyone is interested in how the CDC, NIH, USAMRIID, and all the other major research facilities work with level 4 diseases, this is the book to read. It's low on terminology, as well, which makes it user-friendly. Just knowing that these are real people, you feel the connection that much more, through the Ebola scares when a needle goes through a glove, to the fear when 9/11 hits and Anthrax arrives in D.C.'s big government office buildings. Title: The Zookeeper's Wife Author: Diane Ackerman Genre: Nonfiction/War Can I say how much I enjoyed finally getting to read this book? I loved Antonina, I loved the spirit of the Polish (probably because I'm half!), and I loved the idea that you can truly make it through anything if you try. There's not a lot to say about this book, seeing as everyone's literally read it, but if you haven't, get it!

Hey y'all!

I've noticed that once in a while there's a "I need a beta" post, so, since I've got some free time in my hands at the moment, I decided I'd just... volunteer. I'm having such a nice time with dear [info]halcyon_x3 that I thought I could take up just a few more people. It entertains me, and I get to be bossy. hahaha

EDIT: I fail at LJ coding. sorry
