(Community Matters) My reading list almost always lengthens as a result of hosting a dinner party. From last night, the prioritized addition: The Emperor of Maladies: a Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee. It came up as we were discussing the unsustainable growth of healthcare costs and historical inflection points – especially citing Thomas Malthus, Paul Erhlic and Atul Gawande.
Comfort Mexican food with Isabel & Dave Welland, Kip Keller, Christie Horne & Kevin Lalande, Diane Land & Steve Adler & of course my husband. Regrettably missing Suzanne & David Booth (hope our buddy Chandler feels better quickly).
Community Matters 
I’ve heard good things about it, but don’t forget your “Freedom”… discussion in 2.5 weeks!
The emperor of maladies turns out to be a motivational read for all those who have been seeing their near and dear ones suffering the painful nemesis of cancer or are themselves facing the pangs of it.
Once you finish reading the book, you realize that the title is apt for the book.
