Everything is Tuberculosis : The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
by John Green
I learned more about tuberculosis than I thought possible. It’s connections to history, products, wars, and not just science or medicine. Thousands of years with this disease and we are still talking about it. A fascinating book.

I was hooked reading this haunting novel about a homestead in western Massachusetts. 12 interlinked stories take place in a New England forest. If you're looking for something different, this is it.
