And what did you read on your summer vacation?

FORENSICS DEMYSTIFIED by Barry Fisher, David Fisher and Jason Kolowski which I picked up at Powell's Books in Portland. It's a basic introduction to forensic science and the various disciplines within--nothing you could use for in-depth research, but enough to get a feel for where I want to go next.

I also took along three mass-market paperbacks and managed to read only about 1/3 of one of them. Very little free time on this trip, as it turned out, and the forensics textbook appealed more than the sci-fi book I was reading, which probably reveals something about both that book and where my brain is at the moment.
