Mucus belongs in the lungs and is disgusting when it's coughed up green and yellow. Notes on reading Everybody (normal) is revolted when bodily liquids escape their proper place. The ending was worthy of a let's-tie-up-all-the-loose-ends novel, rather than a pop science book.īut that could all just be me, others who don't find concrete any more fascinating than water, or chocolate than making a cup of tea, might 5 star it. ![]() It was set around an airplane flight to San Francisco, and all the liquids involved from kerosene to the molten rock that the tectonic plates under San Francisco float on. ![]() It could be that I found the structure of this book a bit cutesy. I'm not sure why I didn't enjoy it as much, it could be that I didn't really find any of the liquids as fascinating as I did the materials, specifically concrete (my new obsession) and chocolate (my constant obsession) and aerogel.
