Its so good. The lost world is awesome too

The movie for the book has its good points.

An issue that I question with the movie and book is that it brings up that cancer is a genetic disease.

A number of years ago a professor, Thomas Seyfried, appears to have disproven that. What Seyfried did was to conduct two tests. In one test he removed the DNA from a cancer cell and placed it into a healthy cell. The result is the healthy cell remained healthy. He then removed the DNA from a healthy cell and placed it into a cancer cell. The cell remained cancerous.

Thomas Seyfried wrote a book about his cancer research work ~

Cancer as a metabolic disease: On the origin, management and prevention of cancer Kindle Edition

I haven't watched this particular video of Professor Seyfried but imagine it similar to other talks I've watched of him.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

 

[chill doggie]

"Li has left behind speed, despair and his belief in Western medicine. (He refuses steroid shots for his back pain.) But what he is really recovering from is existentialism, the idea that life has no meaning other than what we give it. He now believes that the world has an inherent purpose. To get closer to its “mystery,” and to feel less grumpy, he drops a lot of LSD and eats even more cannabis."

 

[Gomi1977]

Currently reading Rose Madder by Stephen King, and I have to say, apart from Pennywise, Norman Daniels might be the scariest character King has ever created, simply because people like that actually exist (my Aunt was married to someone quite similar).
Been on a massive King binge the last couple of weeks. Tommyknockers, Needful Things, Desperation, Cell, Dreamcatcher (wonderful, but

Spoiler: spoiler

why did he have to kill of Duddits???

), Lisey's Story (his best singular work to date imho).

Not long finished The lost city of z. Definitely plan on reading more booms by David Grann.

100 or so pages into Altered Carbon and really enjoying it so far.

Really love that book, I re-read it a few books ago

I'm reading The Midnight Assassin by Skip Hollandsworth. About the hunt for America's first serial killer (Who some have speculated moved to the UK and became Jack the Ripper) in Austin, Texas in 1885. I'm like 100 pages in and it has done a brilliant job of outlining Austin society of the time, from its people and politics to its architecture.

That's sounds interesting. Might have to add that to my good reads list.
