I love her books!!!! So well written and the way she builds here characters generates concern with the readers.

This is a fantabulous book that I keep on my coffee table; I haven't read it all, yet--but I'm savoring it all. As a teacher (and I consider this to be a "helping profession"), I've always needed help establishing boundaries between work and play.

Sedaris is a writer that has consistently massaged my every emotion. His storytelling is amazing. For me, I would go from tears to really laugh outloud episodes that literally scared my cats off of the couch. Make SURE you read When You Are Engulfed In Flames. Let me know your critique of his writing style. ~ T.

Losing Control: Canada's Social Conservatives in the Age of Rights by Tom Warner

Still Alice
Lisa Genova, author.

This book focuses on a 50 year old Harvard Professor of Psychology Linguinstics. She begins to have some unusual symptoms that lead her to the diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's disease. It follows her descent into forgetfulness, the loss of her dignity and so on. This is a must read for anyone that may be genetically loaded for this disease or if you are caring for anyone in the middle stages of this dreaded diagnosis.
Although the character is fictional the disease facts and the sequential events as the disease progresses is factual. The book has a most unusual ending.

This is worth the time, money and energy to read. I highly recommend it.
