A Slashdot reader posts:
“I just finished reading an excellent book by Matt Ridley called Genome. The book is divided into 23 chapters, one for each chromosome. The author picks a significant gene from each chromosome to focus on, and explores a myriad of topics such as why we age, how life forms assemble themselves into full-grown adults starting from a blob of cells, how we form and store new memories, and how gene therapy works. I found the book very well written, highly interesting, and quite accessible. Anyone that is interested in knowing more about themselves and all life on Earth would do themselves a service to read it.”

I really hated that book. Don’t waste your time as it is nothing but a boring book schools assign for summer reading and such. Please take this warning and pursue at your own risk. Thank you.
