@Pearlee@sunshine45 - I'm so confused. Where am I? I thought I did post in our Book Club. And did someone say something rude?

 

WOW I'm really confused!

@CareBears  I hope that you enjoy Later. If you do, a whole new world of books will be opened to you as King has many others to chose from, many better than Later. (at least in my opinion)

He is a great story teller and usually grabs me right from the beginning. Although he can be somewhat verbose, which probably explains the huge page count on some of his books.

@abbalulu  I believe that is why I have stayed away from so many of his books, they seem to be larger books which I have trouble holding on to.

[ Edited ]

@CareBears , I never read Stephen King until the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and then I was hooked.  He is a master story teller.  While I am not one for horror stories, he has many that don't fit into that genre.  Happy reading!  @sunala @abbalulu .  S

 

PS I use iPad pillow for heavy books...

Just finished Watching You by Lisa Jewell, she is a very talented author and this book was different but so good, and it confirms the old saying "you really never know anyone even if they are in your life everyday!  And always be kind, being a bully is never accepted behaviour!

Carebears,welcome to the world of Steven King. I think I have read most if not all of his books.

one of my favorites was MISERY. About a author who has a car accident and ends up being rescued by "his biggest fan". I highly recommend it. Enjoy your new found author.

The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Raceby Walter Isaacson

 

Nobel Prize-winner, Jennifer Doudna, was told by her high school counselor that girls didn’t become scientists, but Jennifer wasn't listening.  Years later, she and her collaborators turned a curiosity ​of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA.  

 

Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions.  

 

In the very near future you will be able to go to see your doctor and ask to have your body go through Geno Sequencing and then fix what ever it is that is wrong with you, Cancer, kidney disease, heart problems, diabetes, it takes out the disease. 

 

Undoubtedly, the ethical issues will have people talking for a long time, but the medical manifestation should have people living in good health for a much longer time.

"Misery" was great! Annie was one of King's scariest villians. Just thinking about her gives me nightmares.
