    Looking forward to this one. I'm on the list for it at the local library. Might just buy a copy. I think hubby would enjoy it, too.

      Recommended - very interesting book that even as a former sleep laboratory technician I learned a lot.

        Yes, all the books I never post about are the ones I'm not reading.

        Education is extremely important.

          Just started "Why We Sleep" this morning.

          One of the most fascinating books I've read in a long time. I'm only about 1/6 of the way through it, but it's a great read. Very accessible to the non-scientist too.

              I love Larson's books. I got hooked on them with "Devil in the White City."

                              George - not quite as well done as Why We Sleep, I would still recommend this one as well. Wish we were about 20 years younger. ce43d8ce-2963-40fb-86bc-6995e82bb89a-image.png

                                  Click on the picture icon (fourth from the right), and copy the url of the picture you share. Paste into that command:

                                  ![alt text]( image url)

                                  So it will look like this:

                                  I inserted a couple of spaces so that it would look sort of what you should see.

                                  Result? This:

                                        Yeah. Popcorn indeed. And just as satisfying.

                                        Has all the marks of a really good thriller - confusing crime, missing person, lots of misdirection.

                                        But, popcorn ain't a good meal. The ending was rushed, confusing, and though satisfying, like popcorn, wasn't really fulfilling. 3/5 stars.

                                        Up next, based on Kluurs recommendation:
