]]> <![CDATA[new comment from David]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65966487 Sara's review of To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee

That's a harsh rating for such a good book. ]]> <![CDATA[David added 'Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59385747 to: Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside (Hardcover) by Katrina Firlik
bookshelves: 2009, nonfiction, science
I enjoyed Firlik's narrative about being a neurosurgeon. Her book accurately depicts the contradictions that surgeons face on a daily basis throughout their medical training. I relate to her inability, at times, to separate her personal views on philosophy of mind and religion from the work she does. While some might find this odd, I find it charming to hear the various perspectives she has on these issues. I found it to be a book that I could pick up and read a few chapters at a time, but not one that enthralled me to read in one sitting. ]]> <![CDATA[David added 'Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58800634 Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays (Hardcover) by David Foster Wallace
