A beautiful, heart breaking, and profound look at life, death, and medicine by a neurosurgeon resident turned cancer patient. Kalanithi's work reflects a man well-read and filled with potential, someone who would have surely made a dent in the world, and whose life was cut too short. It's impossible not to admire his courage and clarity in facing death. His brilliant memoir drips heavy with parallels and insights. Simply timeless.

Orwell is such an intuitive writer to be able to draw on the underlying patterns of oppression and bureaucratic control from Burma to modern society.

Near the top of my list in the thriller/ mystery category. Perfect amount of detail to lead you on a psychological journey of suspense and intrigue. One of Christie's best works. You won't be able to put it down.
