262009, oh shit I bought three more books yesterday

I bought them at a small, independent, worker-owned bookstore, but here are the amazon links anyway, lol:

The Shadow Lines, by Amitav Ghosh. I picked this up because I've recently been reading a number of books that are set in India, and so it attracted me. I know nothing about it. But I trust the bookstore.

Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health, by Marion Nestle. I've been wanting to read something of hers because I'm going to see her speak in May, and also because I've heard she's really terrific. This one looked promising and also it's heavy but not so heavy as to be prohibitive. Many of her books just weigh too much to carry around comfortably, and it takes a certain determination on my part to read a book that I can't carry with me.

And, finally, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present, by Harriet A. Washington. A couple of people here mentioned it, and I trust the bookstore, and when I took a look at it, I sensed that it was written in a way that I would like/appreciate.
