Not Dead Yet!

Let's just say we took an extended summer vacation. And our "summer read" of choice? Brain on Fire by Susanah Cahalan. What could be better than a medical horror story, a mystery with with NMDA receptors and antibodies for clues? Throw in a few nifty psychiatric symptoms and it's a terrific fit for the Neuroscience crowd. Add a few tasty margaritas and a bit of gossip and I declare WOVFAB back in action.

What'll we read next? Polls close Friday at 5pm.

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury

Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg

Suite Francaise by Irene Nemerosky

Empire of the Ants

I'm not writing a review on Empire of the Ants. Didn't finish it. Couldn't finish it. Or perhaps more accurately, won't finish it. I learned all I needed from the discussion at Monday's meeting. It was slow and the ending predictable but there might be enough creepy insects and gore to entice the 11 year old.

Looking for Ants?

Days before the big spring picnic, we've chosen to read about ants? I don't get it.

But our newest reader, Cherise, tells me there a 20% off sale at Half Price Books this weekend. Looking to save a buck?
