What I Am Reading Right Now - Flu: The Story Of The Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus that Caused It

I forgot that I had this book until my son started asking me about the FLU pandemicthat happened in 1918. I am going to read it again with him.
                  
Flu: The Story Of The Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus that Caused It is a A national bestseller, the fast-paced and gripping account of the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918 from acclaimed science journalist Gina Kolata, now featuring a new epilogue about avian flu.

When we think of plagues, we think of AIDS, Ebola, anthrax spores, and, of course, the Black Death. But in 1918 the Great Flu Epidemic killed an estimated forty million people virtually overnight. If such a plague returned today, taking a comparable percentage of the US population with it, 1.5 million Americans would die.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup?
I'm assuming having a blog like yours would
cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice
would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

Currently it seems like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your
blog?
