hush blogs about parenting challenges, marriage counseling, managing friendships, movies, books, style, pop culture, politics, sex, losing one's religion, skiing, missing urban life and decent food, shitty book clubs, and fruit growing in America. hush has been a SAHM, a WOHM, and a WAHM at various times, and thinks they are all equally wonderful things to be, or not to be. Anyone who disagrees basically sucks as a person. I kid. Sort of.

July 1st - "Henrietta Lacks" Book Discussion Here!
Be there or be square. July 1st. Our book is "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. It's a compelling one. So much so that Oprah and "True Blood" creator Alan Ball are doing an HBO film project based on it. Hooray!
Haven't read it but if the book store at the station has it (as if) I'll get me self a copy. Oh, I read now! I spend three hours a day on public transport to and from 'work' and even managed to finish WolfHall in a couple of sittings.
P.s you are going to so 'the Thirteenth Hour' aren't you???
Are you still around, hush? It's been a while; not that you have any obligation, of course. Just mildly concerned. Have any of you heard the short bit on Radio Lab about Henrietta Lacks' tumor? It has some audio from the author's recordings, and it's nice to hear these people's voices. You can find it on the episode called Famous Tumors.

Got it. I should be able to make the July 1 deadline. :)
Working on getting myself a copy. Podunk library=fail. Next step, Amazon.
I'm in. Ordered it on the Kindle today!
Pusher. Ok, ok, that's not fair. Now it's more like peer pressure.
Ordered. I'm in.
What's our secret handshake?

Nevermind, nevermind. I'm enrolling in my remedial blog reading class tomorrow.
@Claudia - No worries. I'm the the remedial course for blog reading & writing (& 'rithmetic, too).
