Kristin's Book Log


Monday, April 04, 2005
Mark Salzman's Lost in Place is an amusing memoir of his teenaged years. It chronicles his attempts to learn kung fu, the Chinese language, and jazz cello.

Cory Doctorow's A Place So Foreign is a book of short stories. All a bit weird. All good. (I liked it better than Down and out in the Magic Kingdom). I'll have to read the rest of his stuff.

Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World is one of those books that was interesting, yet took me a really long time to finish since I rarely ended up reading much of it at a time. It talks about all the various ways that people ignore science, distrust science or disbelieve science, and how science is a good thing.
