I know it's not as cold here in B'More as many other places, but it's cold enough. When I got home today, it was so nice to take a nice warm bath and read a new book. I started reading This Life I've led , an autobiography of Babe Didrikson Zaharias. She was a very famous athlete in the '30s and '40s and just an all around amazing woman. The book is captivating.
We had our book club yesterday and it was a lively discussion. Most of the women felt like there should be some legal recourse for the Lacks family to benefit financially from the profit made over the years from selling Henrietta Lacks' cells. But, the book was pretty clear that it is unlikely to happen. We all agreed that the book does an excellent job of going back and forth between heavy scientific material and personal relationships and family matters. Definitely on the recommend list.
