Death from the Skies!: These Are the Ways the World Will End . . . by Philip C. Plait

Very fun read. It's basically a general astronomy book using potential apocalyptic endings to explain things. Loved it.

Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense by N. T. Wright

This author came highly recommended by a number of people on an email list I'm on, so I decided to try out some of his books, and this one came up first. I quite enjoyed it, and will definitely continue to read more of his books.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

Excellent. I was familiar with HeLa cells, having become one with them during college, but never gave it any thought (nor remember reading anything) about the person they originally came from. That's what this book is about - the woman, Henrietta Lacks, whose cells these were and the repercussions on her family. It was a fascinating read.
