When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
emotional
reflective
sad
fast-paced
5.0
Wow... this book really got to me. It's written very well and punches you in the gut. Paul's self-reflection at the end of his life hits hard. It was a hard book to get through, but it was very, very good. Don't read if you are not in the right emotional state.

Paul is a doctor and described his medical training somewhat explicitly when talking about dissecting cadavers.
