The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot. Nonfiction about the life of the woman whose cancer created the HeLa cell line, and her family. Has interesting things to say about how doctors treat patients, how researchers treat subjects, who owns intellectual property and why, and racism in America.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
