Allison Blevins hellokindred — I read and LOVED the novel Still Alice - what a marvel of research and writing, despite the disturbing topic of early-onset Alzheimer's. The book is written in Alice's voice and the reader experiences what she is going through and feeling at the gut level. The author is a neuroscientist and really knows her stuff! The author, Lisa Genova, self-published this book with encouragement from the Alzheimer's Foundation (I think that was the organization). Then Simon and Schuster picked it up (3 publishing houses wanted it) and the rest is history...it debuted at #5 on the NY Times bestseller list.... and I think much of its "publicity" has been word-of-mouth. Genova is working on a new novel, Left Neglected, "the story of a woman whose car accident results in a brain injury that creates a known condition called 'Left Side Neglect'. In that condition, the brain doesn't see or process anything on a person's left side". She talks about it in the back of Still Alice (which I have already loaned out). It will be a long time before I stop thinking about Alice and her struggles, her identity, and her family. This book was amazing.

Charles Tennison cbtjr2000 — Extremely moving, but not sentimental. It feels slightly all-over-the-place in its structure, but that is entirely appropriate to the roller-coaster of emotions and thoughts that Didion's loss triggered. I think it'd be a great read for anyone who is struggling to know what to say/do for a friend who's lost a husband.

Kittiya On-in kittiya_nin — Japanese for Daydreamers is truly lovely. I read it twice through tonight and just let her lines sink in. I enjoyed the tone of the book so much: tranquil, serious, firmly rooted in an emotional, physical, and intellectual landscape; but with a kind humor that warms the reader along the 24 pages. Using the translation of Japanese characters and haiku as a point of departure, Judy “angles” words from both languages to make her own expressions bloom. I really appreciate her experiments with form. So often similar experiments read cold to me- but Judy’s has a sincerity that I haven't seem many others pull off. For instance in Gravity she collages seemingly disparate narrative scenes; brush strokes of language that evoke dance/ song/ and scenes from nature; the Japanese characters for an “electrocardiogram”; and physics equations to render a poignant investigation of the impacts of an illness. It is a gorgeous poem. If you can - find a copy – finishinglinepress.com.
