Title: The Bioarchaeology of Tuberculosis: A Global View on a Reemerging Disease
Authors: Charlotte Roberts and Jane Buikstra
Rating: 5
A thoroughly researched account of the evidence of tuberculosis found in human remains from eons gone by. Very much an academic oriented book, but incredibly interesting.

The Walking Dead, Volume 9
Title: The Walking Dead, Volume 9 : Here We Remain
Author: Robert Kirkman
Rating: 4
This has been a quite interesting and thought provoking series. On the face it appears to be "just another zombie series" but the story delves into much deeper territory. You should give it a try.
