Read Richard Preston's The Hot Zone if you're into learning about rare diseases. It is a non-fiction book about the origins and incidents involving Biosafety Level 4 Agents- Viruses that are extremely infectious, have high case-fatality rates, and have no cures. Both exhilarating and informing, The Hot Zone is one of the greatest books I have ever read. This book has made me aware of the sort of dangers that lie throughout in the world.
You've read this book too?! Its one of my favorite! :) Glad you're spreading the word about it.
