Red Madness: How a Medical Mystery Changed What We Eat | 
pickI love a good medical nonfiction book. This one explores the mystery of pellagra, a disease that decimated the south and poor industrial workers. Looking back, of course, doctors now know the solution is simple: eat meat and vegetables. What I found most interesting is that pellagra was the result of a place decimated by the economics of slavery and sharecropping (my grandfather picked cotton as a sharecropper's son).
