The Family that couldn't sleep, by D.T. Max

My goodness: I just finished this powerhouse of a book reviewing the background and current history of prion diseases (if you want to call them that).
This book took me several weeks, because the kids, and then I, got sick and I couldn't properly concentrate.
It took me a while to go through the Acknowledgements and Notes in the level of detail I wanted to; I decided I definitely wanted to do this after reading the author's touching personal Afterword.

I am telling myself the next book I read should be the seeming escapist book that I picked up at Target yesterday, "The Right Attitude to Rain" by Alexander McCall Smith. My attention was first drawn by the cozy scene of a yellow cat sitting next to a lit reading lamp in a night window. Can the cat see the bugs attracted by the lamp - else, what could the cat be looking at when there is powerful side lighting? Then I noticed that the main character had a prename with personal meaning to me.
