Nicole: “This book was given to me by a doctor. He’s really cute. Right now he’s doing his residency in Vermont but I guess you could say we’re dating. He’s going to be a radiologist and the story is about a doctor who’s diagnosed with cancer. It’s really beautifully written. I’m going to see him this weekend and we’re going to have a book discussion. It’s such a crazy, full loop experience because my brother has a terminal neurological illness. He is 33 and has spinal cancer. Since I’m in the backstory, I’m ok reading the book so far, but I know the end is going to hit close to home.” @nicolemaeadams #WhenBreathBecomesAir #PaulKalanithi / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at G Train)

Around Christmas time I often spend time thinking about the past year, what I learned, what I’m grateful for and what I hope to do in the year to come.  Today I started a little series of drawings, one for each book I’ve read this year.  Here are the first four. :)

When Breath Becomes Air By Paul Kalanithi In the forward to this book, Abraham Verghese writes that in reading Paul’s words he came to know him, which sums up the experience you get from reading this book.  Paul presents his thoughts on the life he led and the excruciating process of coming to terms with the end of it. While reading his thoughts in this book, I was confronted with how much, as a people, we avoid discussing the universal constant that is death. In avoiding this conversation we are not living, instead we trick our minds into thinking there is more time to do the things that matter to us.  Paul, confronted with his immortality, chose to fill his limited time with the things that mattered to him. He worked within the confines of time available and focused on what he valued, and because of his decision to keep living, we have this book.  I have long since made my peace with death and the simple fact that it is inevitable. On the other hand, living is tricky and I’m learning to make, each day, contribute to things I value and consider important. When Breath Becomes Air presents a roadmap of some sort that teaches me the value of truly living.  #bookstagram #readinglist2021 #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi https://www.instagram.com/p/CPtsu22FbPY/?utm_medium=tumblr

#book 7 in the #20booksin2020 #challenge #WhenBreathBecomesAir by #PaulKalanithi I had been wanting to read this book for years ever since I saw #LucyKalanithi on #GoodMorningAmerica https://youtu.be/jWVIsS7-8D4 It wasn’t until yesterday that I finally got my hands on it at the library. I confess, it was hella triggering because years later, watching my dad die of #cancer remains the most difficult and painful thing I’ve gone through in life, and something I’m still struggling to deal with. I finished the book awhile ago tonight and I am still crying as I type this post, like full on #uglycry too. How fitting that I’m posting this on #WorldCancerDay You bet your ass I am NOT reading Joe Biden’s book about the #death of his son next. Chelsea Handler’s book was a lot about death too and I don’t think I can handle another one so soon. Luckily I have Stormy Daniels’ book and Khloe Kardashian’s book in my bag, those should give me some distance from death for a little bit. #cancersucks #stupidcancer #effcancer #20booksin2020challenge #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #booksofig #reading #memoir https://www.instagram.com/p/B8LRORInggO/?igshid=16wboyg59aji4
