Cindy is 60% done with Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe

I'm getting tired of the ongoing saga of William F Wells, surely there are other scientists in aerobiology that can be profiled?

Cindy is 85% done with The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume I (Book #1)

Awesomesauce! Atwood has included a synopsis of O&C and YotF at the start of MaddAddam! Thank goodness, because its been a decade since I've read O&C. And my mind is a sieve.
