RehabRN book club: Summer 16 part 3

I've been busy reading, since Bubba is in the home stretch of the local reading club. We take at least 1-2 trips to the library each week.

I'm still working on We have the technology, which has vignettes by sense, and I really enjoy it.

However, on our latest trip (since they are closed Monday for the holiday) I found a book I've been waiting to read, When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. I saw his interviews and knew some of the story, but the little book (I actually read it all this afternoon) was so much more than the videos of his interviews.

You read about what it's like for a doctor to get cancer and be a patient. You read about happy things, but things are also very sad. Many reviewers, big name authors themselves, recommend this as one of the most important books you'll read. I have to agree. Life is short, and only some of us will have the courage to live it, in the face of some terrible things, on our own terms with dignity.

More later on what's new on the reading list...
