morbid distractions

Was halfway doing a meme on books when I got stuck on the five books that mean a lot to me. Doing the meme was really just a distraction from thinking about the presentation I have to do in a few hours, which was originally meant for Tuesday but postponed to today. It's been hanging on my back like the mutated foetus of a twin - in London I was reading my cousin's copy of Mutants: On the Forms, Varieties and Errors of the Human Body, a rather fascinating book, which I promptly made a reservation for at the library here, where in the meantime I picked up Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.
