For me:
"Smoking Ears and Screaming Teeth: A Celebration of Scientific Eccentricity and Self-Experimentation" by Trevor Norton.
You know, I keep finding John Hunter in books. Ever keep finding the same random people like that?

Need to renew the first as I'm only halfway through it and it's due tomorrow. Haven't started Rachel's, yet, but I'm looking forward to it and it looks like a quick read.

Popular book.

I guess I could buy it, but I've done so good not to buy any books lately. It's addicting to hoard books. In the, "but I'll know more if I drown myself in books!" way. I'm already underwater, yah know?
I've read about authors who die and leaves 5,000-20,000 books behind for people to sort through. I'll be one of those people...

I suppose that's under non-fiction, but it's not my cup of tea.

At the moment all of my books are fiction, but I did recently read The Great Mortality by John Kelly about the Black Death. Excellent.
