Mourning a Breast
XI XI
Mourning a Breast, the Chinese writer Xi Xi’s account of breast cancer, is perhaps the only illness memoir to address head-on how difficult it is to choose books to read in the hospital... Intimate, charming, and open, it is a book to be enjoyed in sickness and in health.

A Dance to the Music of Time: First Movement
Anthony Powell
A Dance to the Music of Time may have temporarily ruined my life. Not only did it turn me into an insufferable person whose main subject of conversation was a little-read twelve-volume novel cycle about interwar Brits, but it made all other books read like thin gruel.
