A graphic novel, but also a book with footnotes on the footnotes.

The Marvels | Brian Selznick

Beautiful book that got better and better the farther I read. It's a story about stories, truth, and self. The numerous pictures add to the mystery and wonder of the book.

Cendrillon: A Caribbean Cinderella | Charles Perrault, Robert D. San Souci

I loved the perspective of the book and the involvement of the "fairy godmother" in this version of Cinderella.

I'm loving this book! It's an engaging read about the fascinating microbes that live in us and all around us. Go read it.

If I went to a library and lobbed a microbiology textbook out the window, I could easily concise a passer- by. If I tore out all the pages that dealt with beneficial microbes, I could just about give someone a nasty paper cut.

In fact, every individual is more like an archipelago - a chain of islands. Each of our body parts has its own microbial fauna, just as the various Galapagos islands have their own special tortoises and finches.
