The Shape of Water, Andrea Camilleri, a murder mystery set in Sicily. This was a good read but the characters are not as colorful as those in Donna Leon's series set in Venice.

How Doctors Think, Jerome Groopman, M.D.: Think twice before carrying this to the doctor's office! The title will scare them. But that's not what the book is about. The book offers gentle guidance to patients regarding their doctors' thought processes (based on their training and experiences) and on interpretation of research studies. For example, one vignette is of a patient with well-controlled ovarian cancer, with no growth in her tumors. She then went to a GI doc who found a tumor on her colon. Her ovarian cancer doc didn't want to make changes as he felt her cancer was well-controlled. The patient wanted aggressive treatment with the colon tumor removed. She had to go off chemo for the surgery, and then her ovarian cancer progressed beyond hope. It's full of chatty vignettes and statitics, much like Freakonomics.

Current Read:

Adriana Trigiani's Roccoco, a Novel. Delightful! Wonderful, colorful characters, set in New Jersey. A few years ago, I ready her trilogy set in a small mountain town in Southwestern Virginia. Thanks to Lois for reminding me to check out her recent books.

Knitting FOs...mittens for Katie, and hat for someone! Do you notice that the mitten on the right hand is larger than the one on the left? That's been ripped back and is a work-in-progress again.

The hat? Who knows who it will be for. I bought the oatmeal Lamb's Pride to work with the odds and ends of blues and it came together nicely.

Disney Moment: One evening when going back into the park, and my bag was being searched, I asked the inspector if she sees a lot of knitting when searching the tote bags and purses. She said "you'd be surprised at how much" knitting goes into the park!
