October's books
89. Craig E. Blohm - X-rays, 107 pages
90. David Friend - Watching the World Change: The Stories Behind the Images of 9/11, 348 pages
Interesting. Not quite what I was expecting. From the review I read somewhere, I was expecting more of a coffee table book with big images and blurbs from the photographers about where they were, etc. It turned out to be more of a discussion of the role of photography in breaking news, technological changes in imaging in 2001 (people were really starting to switch from film to digital, the role of the Internet in photo distribution), that sort of thing, as well as some of the where-they-were stories.
91. Dean Koontz - The Husband, audiobook
92. Richard Adams and Ronald Lockley - Voyage Through the Antarctic, 160 pages
93. Emily R. Transue, M.D. - On Call: A Doctor's Days and Nights in Residency, 242 pages
This read a lot like Meredith's voiceovers on Grey's Anatomy. Not quite as sappy, but Dr. Transue came across as very much like Meredith -- brand new doctor thrown into slightly scary new experiences and being unsure of her ability to handle them.
Currently reading: The Complete Idiot's Guide to 20th Century History by Alan Axelrod and Lisey's Story by Stephen King.
