My goal for the year is to read 50 books from my physical shelves. In the first month I‘ve read 11, for a total of 20 books read this month! The only reason I‘m thankful to live in Michigan is for #snowdays #teacher #booklove #bookpurge Now, into some non-fic!

At the end of his life Henry is reflecting on his time being a neuro surgeon. He felt anxieties talking honestly to patients and doing big surgeries. He knew he had the lives of people in his hands and he was ready to retire. I found it interesting that they were getting in “trouble” for treating too many patients in the ER ($$). His renos to his cottage were his way to decompress and relax. If you‘re into medical stories this one is for you!

What I bought in this month's Kindle monthly deals sale.

I am really looking forward to Admissions as I loved Do No Harm. It is always good to have more Jeeves and Wooster on one's kindle. I thought of getting the P.D James from the library, but then I somehow clicked buy... The Simon Schama is a random one, but I do tend to like his books.

I loved Henry Marsh‘s first memoir Do No Harm. This second book of his includes ruminations on retirement, dying, and the modern healthcare legal-medico curffuffle. He‘s a wonderfully self-aware and skillful writer! Please read!

Oryx I second that! I really enjoy his writing - very honest 7y

Another great book by Henry Marsh. This one focuses more on finding meaning in one's life after retirement and looking back on one's career. Recommended, but definitely read Do No Harm first 😄

#bookanddessert: tea and a chunk of carrot bundt cake with dark chocolate glaze. I did not make this cake!! It was the work of a much more talented friend 😄

AmandaL It looks delicious! 7y
rabbitprincess @AmandaL It was! The chocolate was excellent and the carrot cake was nice and light to contrast the dark chocolate. And no raisins, yay! 7y

I am extremely squeamish about medical procedures (I feel faint just listening to my friend talk about her adventures donating blood), so reading books by Marsh and others is a way for me to try to face my fears.

Despite the fact that I pass out at the sight of blood, I love books about the medical field. Starting this one tonight.

This man actually saved my life about 29 years ago 😊 to say I am forever grateful is an understatement. A fantastic honest writer too, if you like to go behind the scenes of the medical profession Marsh is your man!

Sarah83 why? 8y
Bambolina_81 He's a neurosurgeon and performed a very delicate operation on me when I was 7. I'd have lead a very different life without him 😊 8y
andrew61 I can't think where but I've definitely heard him speak on the radio, sounds like an incredible man. 8y

Bambolina_81 He was interviewed by James Naughtie on Bbc Radio 4s Bookclub and was on again today. They also made a documentary about him as he's done a great deal of work in the Ukraine. I only have a hint of hero worship...can you tell? 😂😉 8y
Bambolina_81 @andrew61 sorry I couldn't tag you in my last comment. 8y
Sarah83 So he did a great job for your life. 😉 8y
