I just finished Five Days at Memorial by Shen Fink. Memorial (formerly Baptist hospital) in New Orleans had five days of operation before post Katrina help arrived. The book is fascinating and the author continues post Katrina with factual recounting of euthanasia legal issues straight up to 2013 as more States enact Death With Dignity laws. Really interesting and very well written.
My primary MD and I exchange book ideas and he is going to read that book...and he recommended an unusual book by John Irving. The novel is entitled A Prayer For Owen Meany. It was written in the 80's and he tells me he recently read it and considers it one of the best novels he has every read. So far I have completed two chapters and I've got to say it is different and has my attention, lol.
Anything interesting next to your bedside or reading chair?? DDD
