| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

Author: Johnson, Steven
| 2007-01-17 | 1594489254 | The Ghost Map | Johnson, Steven | | | | I heard Steven Johnson talking about this book on NPR, so I reserved it online at the library and finally got it this month. The map in question, reproduced in the book, marks deaths from a cholera outbreak in a nineteenth century London neighborhood, and the story of its creator, John Snow, and how he came to discover cholera's cause is what the book's about. This is nonfiction, but Johnson's a good story teller. | |
