Books for 2011.9
Storm Front - Jim Butcher
One of Our Thursdays is Missing - Jasper Fforde
The Lost Continent - Bill Bryson
The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook - Deborah Haddock
If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him!: The Pilgrimage of Psychotherapy Patients - Sheldon B. Kopp
Magic Slays - Ilona Andrews
The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York - Deborah Blum
Kitty's Big Trouble - Carrie Vaughn
Oaxaca Journal - Oliver Sacks
I've read a couple of Sacks's neurology books, which are quite fascinating, so it was very interesting to see his take on a travel journal. Travel journal doesn't really quite explain it properly, though - it was a bit of a mix of travel, history and science, and though the trip itself was looking mostly at ferns, it also gives an interesting look at other facets of Mexican culture. In the end, my only problem was that it was way too short. It has also given me the travel bug, which has the potential to be super-expensive. Gonna try and find some more books on similar subjects, maybe with a bit more focus on Ethnobotany.
