Finally, I was able to finish the book, Lab girl, till the epilogue. It took 2 years. It is an irony to keep reading one book for as much as two years. I used to read it mostly Sunday morning after finishing routine work out when I lived in Samsung-dong, but that routine ran away from me ever since my mom had admitted in a hospital last winter. Two-and-a half months has passed since she left me. I picked it and read again from the start. It coud be a lazy excuse. However, it was not easy to find a time to read English novel during the weekdays, thinking of my long commute time and sense of lose.
Anyways, I dare to say she (Hope Jahren) is a great scientist and writer as well. I highly recommend you this book.
I got it as a gift from one of acquaintances in yoga class. She was a former English teacher.
Come to think of that, there was a time that I wanted to be a scientist.
I'd like to share some phrase from this book with you here:
trees die because being alive has simply become too expensive for them...
Once it exceeds the limitations of its environment, it loses all.
both life and love are like butter and do not keep: they both have to be made fresh every day.
These days, I am into flowers..
