8.  Mosquito... something about how it changed history.  So, I picked a not so great time to read about past terrible epidemics.  This book has lots of interesting things in it.  In my opinion, it would have been better if it were edited down quite a bit.  It is redundant, and the author's comments were overdone.  It seems like it took a very long time to plow through it. But probably I'll keep it.
