Still Alice
If a book about a Harvard psychology professor with early onset Alzheimer's sounds unbelievably depressing, you're right. It is. However, the first person narrative really sets this novel apart, as we see Alice's deterioration from her point of view, and her families struggle to deal with it. The book is not mushy or overly weepy, which gives it a great strength. Genova is a neuroscientist, so it was easy to feel like her observations of the disease were accurate.

The Time Traveler's Wife was an amazing book filled with sadness and happiness. I would consider it one of my favorite books. After I read The Time Traveler's Wife, I read the classic book, Catcher in the Rye. The book is about a boy named Holden who spends three days in New York City. It talks about all of his adventures and memorial experiences. The Catcher in the Rye is a fast read, and definitely a book worth reading!
Charlie St. Cloud is the book I am currently reading. It has an amazing plot and right away you fall in love with the book, and the wonderful relationship between two brothers. My next book is another classic, Lord of the Flies! I’ll tell you how I liked it next week!
Keep on reading!
