Book connections

In connection to the link to placeblogger which I mentioned the other day, I was catching up on NPR's Smart City as I did some hand sewing and placeblogger was mentioned there as well. All that sychronicity goes further as I found a blog in Bombay/Mumbai that fit in with Maximum City through placeblogger and on Smart City, a mention to the Cholera Epidemic in 1854 in London that relates to the novel The Great Stink. Not that I particularly enjoyed TGS, but it was educational. Steven Johnson was interviewed on Smart City and was talking about his new book The Ghost Map which details how the source of the cholera was eventually traced.
