#75 When Breath Becomes Air

When Breath Becomes Air
By Paul Kalanithi

A memoir by a renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, who dies of lung cancer in his early 40s.

Beautifully written, a brave exploration of facing his inevitable death from lung cancer, at a young age. His wife finishes the book after his death.

Moving. Courageous.

Rating: 5/5
Recommendation: Yes, but only if the subject matters is of interest. Not a general read. Short.
