How do you like the Zimmer's writing, Ken?

I like this. His Parasite Rex is a fantastic book.

I haven't read "Soul Made Flesh", but I must agree on Parasite Rex! Interesting experiments for the tapeworm life cycle, eh?  >:D

  ;) Yeah, I've been meaning to read it for about 15. I had it in my kindle, but John Cleese raved about it in his autobiography, so I put it up in the first slot. 
    Would like to hear about your books as well, especially the Resenberger book on the cell. I have the Changizi and a different Zimmerman book: "Evolution, the Triumph of an Idea", so will give those a go (or at least a look).
It's all good...

  Ken, so far not loving "Lucky Jim".  It's engaging after a fashion, and the writing is good, of course, but its one of those books where the main character is a guy of weak character with a propensity to be a loser.  He keeps doing stupid things that throw him into embarrassing and awkward situations. I'm not finding it fun or funny, but maybe I just need to get further into it.
It's all good...
