Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself to those who don't know me from the toilet bowl of 'the other place': I'm a pet loving, question asking, liberal leaning, art appreciating, science nerd, teach something, learn something, get out there and see it for yourself kind of person. Nice to see you.

I'm going to give this book a boost as it's won a couple of history publishing prizes and quite a few 'best of the year' recommendations. Plus I loved it and learned a lot.
Starting this week's book tonight. Really looking forward to it. BTW, borrowed from the library. #Ottawa
