Certainly not high brow, but I started the Hungry City Chronicles by Philip Reeve.


Post-apocalyptic steampunk? Yes please. I'm really enjoying it so far, and I can see this being a very, very solid movie franchise.

"the immortal life of henrietta lacks."

great nonfiction book about biomedical research and the story behind the first 'immortal' cell-culture line. also known as 'HeLa' around the world in virtually every single lab that conducts biomedical research, her cells (the lineage of, technically) have been alive longer than she was and the sheer biomass of which is absolutely astounding.

We just covered a case in Property on cell-lines: Moore v. Regents of California. Very, very interesting. The doctor took Moore's spleen out, and instead of discarding it, he did research on it, and patented the cell-line. Without telling Moore about this. Was the line Moore's property or not? Should Moore get a percentage of profit? Or did he abandon it? A lot of questions there.

Just finished The Big Short, by Michael Lewis, about the housing crisis and the collapse of 2008. F'n disgusting. Very good, readable book.

Now on to the new George Washington book by Ron Chernow, my favorite biographer.

One of the things I admire and like about you here is that I know Ron Chernow is your favorite biographer. I know how much his Hamilton and Rockefeller books impacted you. It shows so much when the topics come up and your intelligence and education shines through, enlightening the discussion to a much higher degree than before. I love these accessible books and the history in them, and its energizing when someone's passion for it reaches and surpasses my own.

I hope you enjoy the (considerably long) time you'll have with it. By all indications, it seems a sure bet.

Even though I'm only halfway through, I can already tell parts that were left out. A lot more detail. So, yes, I've enjoyed the book better so far.
