I almost stepped on a Speckled Rattlesnake last week. Scientists describe the species I encountered (I’m not making this up) as “nervous,” “alert” and “venomous,” three words that really hang upon one another with ponderous weight.
Today I have two suggestions for non-fiction fans - the first is about human-animals interactions by an author whose writing talents can invoke smiles, and the other is a medical memoir written by someone who unexpectedly lost her smile.
