Book Recommendations


To my fellow Bibliophiles:
During my recent "take it easy" time I read not one but TWO great books and would like to recommend them with two big thumbs up!
Both books are fiction but author Lisa Genova, who hold a PhD in neuroscience from Harvard University did extensive research in Alzheimer's Disease and severe brain trauma to write both books.
'Still Alice' was a little scary to read as Alice and I are close in age but also wonderfully thought provoking.
I enjoyed 'Left Neglected' just a little better. It was very interesting to watch Sarah adjust to her new life and come to a peace with her slower but more fulfilling life. At least in my opinion.
I enjoy books where I learn something intellectually but also make me ponder and evaluate.
