Encountered Rio over holiday break at a Starbucks in Northridge (yep, in THE valley). He's reading "The Canon" by Natalie Angier, a non-fiction book about science - plain and simple. He showed me the Table of Contents and each chapter revolves around a different type of science whether it be microbiology or physics.
I asked if he was a scientist or currently studying it. Rio is actually a finance student but picked the book up because the subject matter interests him alot. He's always loved science. Plus, the book was in the $3.99 sale bin at Border's, he says, so he couldn't pass up on a deal like that!
The last book he read was another non-fiction work about bridge (the card game). He had always wanted to play it and knew how to play it a little bit but the book definitely helped him improve his game. (I wanna learn how to play bridge).
If Rio were to write his own book it would be about the history of science. He just can't seem to get enough of it!
What subject matter would you want to write about?
Also, interestingly enough, when Rio showed me the table of contents it hit me that I don't think I've read a book with a table of contents in a while! Could this be true?

Science, eh? Hmmm, I find science somewhat boring :) Mainly because I work in science and see its dirty underbelly, its money-driven behavior just like everything else, and its false people who pretend to be your friend so they can use you. You can call me jaded..
Liza, you rock! So here's an award:
