Substitution

Well, only Week 1 and already I am replacing one book on my list. I had the best hope of reading Natasha's Dance, for the last two summers, actually. It's not going to happen now. It's a pretty meaty cultural history of Russia. I'm really interested in this subject...but not now.
I had Atul Gawande's new book better on my library reserve list and it came in, so I picked it up today. I've already read about a quarter of it - how does he make a chapter on hand washing such a good read?
I've posted some more comments on it here.
