This is the second or third time I've dropped by, and I must say,it is a rather charming library. Lots of real-wood furniture (everything inside is done in the Arts & Crafts style) and plenty of seating! I couldn't really find any good interior pictures so I'll have to take some next time I visit, but mom and penny, you would like it.
I meant to do some more serious reading (i.e. for the Journal Club presentation I have this Thursday), but I was in the mood for some brain candy so picked up some young adult books that I'd looked at before (don't ask, it's so trite I'm embarassed). Although I wish I had remembered about the Unshelved Book Club, which keeps suggesting really interesting books (or maybe they just have interesting reviewers!). The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter or Heads in Beds by Jacob Tomsky are two on my list (maybe I should put a hold on them now).
I guess I'll have to head back sometime this week! Any hot summer afternoon reading suggestions?

Journal Club?? What's that?
Four times a year, at our weekly conference, the fellows present an important article that's been recently published and we critique the paper's strengths and weaknesses and basically decide whether the results would change our practice. I'm presenting an article from the New England Journal of Medicine about a new treatment option for latent TB infection.
Hmm are you reading twilight? The hunger games? The babysitters club? ;)
"the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks" very good
God, I think I'd rather have you know than think I was reading those. Aren't you supposed to be moving?
We did--Monday the movers packed everything up and headed to boston As did Paul. Peter and I left yesterday after going to the closing on our house. We're spending an extra day here at penny's as the apartment in Boston wasn't ready--long painful story. Hopefully we can move in on Sunday.
Oh right and aren't you supposeD to be preparing for journal club? ;)
oh no! mom mentioned something about the apartment missing a few key things! hope it'll be done soon.
That being said, our moves never seem to go well either. Like when we moved to St. Louis we arrived on a saturday, not realizing that the warehouse of the shipper we used was not open on Saturday...or sunday. The first night we stayed at a hotel, the second we got a air mattress.
Or having to wait 19 days for our stuff to arrive in San Diego. Me sleeping on stacked cardboard boxes in St. Louis and Mandy on an air mattress (that same one, best purchase EVER!) for nearly three weeks!
Oh, and yes, I should be working on my journal club article. Sometimes reading medical literature can be so painful =)
