I just finished reading Still Alice. Wow, it was really moving. It was a fictional book written from the point of view of a woman who is diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease. She is 50 years old, a Harvard professor in language, very sharp, and all of sudden this hits her. A very interesting book.
I have that one on my shelf also.
Great book.I just started The Book Thief last night and at first I was like - OK this is wierd, but then I couldnt put it down......
I thought the same thing when I first started reading it. Then I realized that the narrator is "death". I really enjoyed it. I passed it on to one of my 16 year olds & she loved it also.
