pickA apt title, I really enjoyed the play on words. Cutting For Stone is part of the hypocritic oath. If you cannot handle health/surgery talk this is not for you. Verghese pulls a lot from himself - he is an Ethiopian -American doctor. His MCs are Ethiopian twins born of doctors who become doctors. The background of the Ethiopian revolution. I was a bit nervous about this but it was very readable, the characters are vivid and the pacing is perfect.
"The hospital 's old septic tank was located here, deep underground, and for years it has overflowed before it was taken out of use. USAID concrete, Rockefeller funds, and a Greek contractor named Achilles had built a new one "
Try as I might this will not be the book that doesn't remind me how far America has fallen. To be reminded that we used to help the poorest of the poor across the globe ?
REHOMING 📚 I need to make some room on my shelves so I'm giving away books! If you would like me to send anything in this stack to you, please comment below. *US only per my postal budget 🙏
#25in25 we are halfway through the year and I am doing not as great as I could have hoped on the 25 books I have chosen to focus on in 2025.
I feel like July and August are going to be my time to shine on this! A perfect time to read Anne of Green Gables, Three, A Trace of Sun, all those lovely summer books.
I grabbed the audio of Cutting for Stone from my Library so will dive into that this month.

pickThis book was a throwback for me, I read it when I was a teenager in the mid 90s. I realized it was published the year I was born. It was teenage drama and cheesy. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
