Just finished reading "The Ballad of Typhoid Mary". Thought the book was an interesting look as a very infamous woman. I almost felt sorry for her as there was nothing she could really do. With her talents as a cook she had no trouble getting getting work - unfortunately that led to the deaths of a number of people, plus countless being sick.

One of the really chilling stories in there was a family that hired her knowing that she carried typhoid. They did this because they had a child with a disability and they believed that for the child to die of typhoid was a better way to go than allowing them to live. I thought that was quite sad really.

I am hopefully going to finish "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult this weekend (although I am moving so you never know).
