I was finally able to read "Midnight in Chernobyl" after waiting 22 weeks (!) for my hold from the Front Range Digital Library. And 4 people are waiting after me. They clearly need a few more copies.
This is a really #goodread . It's crazy how much I'm learning about the #Chernobyl incident and about Russian propaganda, glasnost, etc. Highly recommend reading this. And the #physics is good, too!
