I tried reading it and gave up after few pages.
I should be reading molecular biology of the gene or genes xi or developmental biology or genetics. Or any kind of scientific published articles :(
BUT I have so many other books that I wanna read that seem more interesting like one day or the kite runner. :( They're untouched on my shelf. I'm leaving them till after my January exams! :)
