For such a skinny little book, it has an awfully long title

Goodbye, Vitamin: A Novel | Rachel Khong

“A long time ago I stopped wondering why there were so many crazy people. What surprises me now is that there are so many sane ones.”

30 yo Ruth quits her job, and goes home to help her aging parents who are losing their memory...so human, spliced with humor.

Still Alice | Lisa Genova

pick

Alice is a brilliant Harvard Professor, wife and mother that has to face life with early onset Alzheimer diseased when she's diagnosed at only fifty years old. Alice's curse is the reader's blessing, there's no rush to move through the pages, to know what happens next, because sadly Alzheimer doesn't have a cure, doesn't have hope, you just have to enjoy every minute of consciousness until the darkness arrives. ⬇️

nanuska_153 The family arguments are so realistic that can be heartbreaking, it's narrated by Alice herself so they feel personal. Although it's obviously not an easy read if you have family members going through dementia or Alzheimer, it's a great book club read because it raises a lot of interesting questions. 2mo

@CSeydel this was such a winner for me - thank you for including it on your list! It was written in such a unique way, but I found it beautiful. Sad, yes, but also hopeful, funny at times, and so many wonderful characters. Ruth was the best. Funny story - my oldest son has a little cup filled with misshapen M&M‘s, like her almonds ♥️😊 #auldlangspine @monalyisha

CSeydel Oh that is funny! 2mo

CSeydel Yes I felt this was unique and hard to encapsulate in a simple review/description. I gave away my copy, but now I‘m wishing I hadn‘t - I‘d like to reread it (edited) 2mo

CBee @CSeydel I think some might not like the way it was written, but it really worked for me. Almost like a diary format with the dates. I loved the journal that her dad kept when she was little ♥️ 2mo

CSeydel Yes! Me too. 2mo

I thought I couldn‘t read books with characters who have dementia (due to plenty of personal experience), but I‘m loving this one. And this quote really struck me. Is anyone really “sane,” though? 🤷‍♀️🧐😂 @CSeydel #auldlangspine #ALSpine

CBee @eclectic-reader it‘s a bit all over the place but not in a nonsensical sort of way. I like it very much so far. 2mo

eclectic-reader Have you read Real Americans? I haven't gotten around to it yet, but i'm intrigued 2mo

CBee @eclectic-reader I haven‘t! I‘ve heard good things though! 2mo
