Hi All

* What I'm reading or rereading:
What- "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi
Why - We all face battles and ask questions. I love hearing peoples stories, thoughts, successes, and failures. This is not your typical relaxing, summer beach read but I can't recommend it enough.
The Amazon review is as follows: When Breath Becomes Air is a powerful look at a stage IV lung cancer diagnosis through the eyes of a neurosurgeon. When Paul Kalanithi is given his diagnosis he is forced to see this disease, and the process of being sick, as a patient rather than a doctor--the result of his experience is not just a look at what living is and how it works from a scientific perspective, but the ins and outs of what makes life matter. This heart-wrenching book will capture you from page one and still have you thinking long after the final sentence.
