Let's Talk About Books

An out of practice reader discussing the books I get around to reading. 

I Tried

The Emperor of All Maladies - Siddhartha Mukherjee

My Book Club decided this would be our next book. I just got it on audiobook today. I made it about 10 minutes in before having to call it quits. The writing is awesome. I just can't handle anything discussing medicine and illnesses. Just listening to descriptions of a woman's leukemia symptoms practically gave me a panic attack. 

 

I can read books about serial killers and horrible murders all day long. Can't handle cancer though. 

 

It really is a bummer. It seemed like it would be a good read.
