I chose to interview my dad for my second influential person to interview. He is always listening to books on his iphone and also has a great taste in literature. When I went to talk to him and ask what books he would recommend me reading, he pulled up his itunes list and looked through every book he has. This included books about hiking, food, and everything in-between.
The Great Influenza was the book that I chose to read from him. It is all about the flu pandemic in the early 1900s which is really interesting to me. I really want to go into the medical field so I take every opportunity to learn something new within that field. I am really excited to read this book and follow up with my dad afterwards to see what he thought about it and compare.

Book Interview #1
My mom loves to read and belongs to a book club so I knew that she would have a list of a ton of amazing books that she would like to me read. During our conversation she mainly focused on one book that she really remembered being interesting to her. She couldn't remember the name of the book but could remember that it was about some murder that took place during the turn of the century in New York.
Being into forensics I thought that this book would be good for me. After a while of researching we learned that the book was called The Alienist and went to to the store to get the book right away. I am really excited to read this book because of what it's about and I know that my mom would only recommend a book if she really thought that I would be interested in it.
