When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

5.0

If you are looking for a good, by the pool, summer read, pick something else, this isn't the one. If you are ready to get deep and intimate with your own mortality, and probably some ugly crying, then this is the book for you. I tend to skim when the writing is more prose than plot, so I'm glad I listened to the audio book that forced me to be present. Definitely worth the read, but you might want to pick the right time.
