My First Autographed Book!

(excluding that Malaysian Astronaut that my mom got me)

I took Tissue Culture class during winter of my second year. There was a book that was just published that coincide to the cells that we were working on in class. So my professor suggested the class to buy the book and read it. So I did.

Its like the whole lecture was in the book and more! Its like a story, the background of the person of the cancer cells. A really nice light reading. Not like those biological textbook at all. So, I got hooked.

And the author came yesterday as a speaker and my biochemistry class made it an extra credit to write a summary of the event (though I was already going even it wasnt).

Turns out many who came didnt read the book since during the Q&A session every question is already answered in the book. Well except for one. And the author just simply read her book and talk a little bit. That was still good though because it was really nice to hear her voice reading it.

So, anyway, I brought my book and got her signature.

I'm all giddy because its actually a book that I had read and enjoyed.

Btw, the book is called The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
