Despite all the hype and it being made into a film so quickly, I actually found a lot of the book slow-going.

I'm reading M. T. Anderson's "Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware." It's absolutely wonderful.

I'm trying to get through Madame Bovary again - just started it again after about a decade of staring at it on the shelf.

Didn't love "The Golden Compass," but liked it enough to keep going with the series. Been having some interesting discussions with people about His Dark Materials vs. Chronicles of Narnia.

I like this book better than some of the others on this topic because it seems more level-headed than outraged, and while it shows just how dangerous the anti-vaccination movement is, it creates some sympathy by showing that these are (usually) well-meaning people worried about their kids (though deeply misguided).
