I've been looking for a good community to join for a while and this one looks awesome.

I've just been recommended this book called 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' by Rebecca Skloot, has anybody here read it?

I'd like to get some reviews before i buy it because it costs 14 bucks on amazon.com

thanks!

Really? You come to a computer support forum for a book review?

It wasn't that long ago that there was a long thread here about relationship advice.  I thought that was also strange.

I've heard a little about Henrietta Lacks and it's an interesting story, but it's mostly about medical research.  I guess medical research uses a lot of computers.

I wasn't questioning the sub forum, just the general location for a first post for a book review.

Never mind. My dry sense of humor is often a bit too dry .......

Hehe. I don't join many forums. This is actually the only one I'm active on.

Why not borrow it from your local library?
