I liked this well enough, but there's a reason I've not read it until now. Something to do with never get too close to your (literary or otherwise) heros... The interesting parts are about the inner workings of his writing. I'd have rated it much higher if it was just that. I do wish a psychiatr...

I found the sections about the discovery and cover up of BSE/mad cow in the UK particularly interesting.This was interspersed with the sad st...
Wow.Ya había estudiado los priones antes y por supuesto el Insomnio Familiar Fatal es algo que se estudia siempre en Psicofisiología cuando se tratan temas de sueño.
