Please note this is not original book Sometimes we don't go out to look for a book; the book finds us. Paul Kalanithi wrote his memoir, "When Breath Becomes Air," as he faced a terminal cancer diagnosis. The book is an emotional investment that is worth making because it is a thoughtful and moving memoir of family, literature and medicine. It is, in spite of its grim connotation, very inspiring. I like to think of myself as a "connoisseur of books," so when a friend recommended this book to me, I politely acquiesced and bought it; I never really planned on reading it. The first time I opened it up, I thought that I would give it a cursory perusal. But this wasn't the case, I found myself reading this book nonstop, long into the early hours of the morning. I couldn't stop reading because even though "When Breath Becomes Air" was enthralling, it would have been a disservice to Paul Kalanithi. The book was stunning and hopeful at the same time. It was sad to know that someone as enormously talented and articulate as Dr. Kalanithi was no longer here with us.
