This week's read
Described as a medical mystery, THE FAMILY THAT COULDN'T SLEEP, by D. T. Max investigates prion diseases, poorly understood maladies probably originating from aberrant proteins. We've heard of mad cow disease, Lou Gehrig disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's - possibly all related. These are all scary. If you read this book you're likely to eat less meat, be more suspect of your food supply and feel infinite compassion for the sufferers.
