Re: SHARE: Great summer reads

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@OREDNET.ORG>]

I'm a non fiction reader. I just finished reading "Driving Mr. Albert."
I have a fondness for this kind of thing!

"Albert Einstein's brain floats in a Tupperware bowl in a gray duffel
bag in the trunk of a Buick Skylark barreling across America. Driving
the car is journalist Michael Paterniti. Sitting next to him is an
eighty-four-year-old pathologist named Thomas Harvey, who performed
the autopsy on Einstein in 1955 -- then simply removed the brain and
took it home. And kept it for over forty years."

Before that I read, "A Beautiful Mind," the biography of John Forbes
Nash, Jr., his genius and his madness. Einstein figured in that book
too. Hmm.

I'm digging through Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel," the kind
of book I need post-it notes to read. Fascinating but requires a lot
from me so I take it one day at a time instead of devouring as I
normally do.

Also read this summer, "The Way We Never Were: American Families
and the Nostalgia Trap." This book provided the inspiration for
my .sig file.

Finally, some fiction; I plan to read Tolkien. I might be the only person
on this list who hasn't. The time has come.

"Leave It To Beaver" was not a documentary.
