I finished three books this week.
Tricky Twenty-Two by Janet Evanovich. Basically the same story as the last 10 of the series. I keep thinking I will quit reading these, but I haven't yet. At least it was a really quick read.
A Doubter's Almanac by Ethan Canin. The story of a mathematical genius - this one is definitely a character driven novel. I really liked it, but it is not a book that I would recommend to a lot of people. You're left wondering if genius is a gift or a curse.
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. The author was just starting his career in neurosurgery when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. It's the story of becoming a neurosurgeon, of being a patient after his time as a doctor, of being the dying husband, father, son and brother of a loving family. A very moving story - I thought the epilogue which was written by the author's wife after his death was especially good.
