A friend and I are reading Ulysses together but she won't have her copy til this weekend, so I have a 5 day window to read something else. It'll either be this or Death in Venice and the Crying of Lot 49. Sound and the Fury is on my list too but it scares me

Never got the chance to go, the funny thing is the used bookstore I bought this at is basically next door to where the borders was

The problem with that stat is that "obese" here is the clinical definition. I know several people that would be defined as obese but nobody would ever consider them that. That's not to say that there isn't an obesity issue, but the formal definitions are based off 19th century persons who had significantly different health statuses. BMI is useful for a population level tool and its nice to have decades of data, but it's not really useful for individuals
