Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️it‘s amazing what we are capable of achieving and what we are capable@of tolerating. Bauby was struck down in the prime of his jet setting life by a rare type if stroke and could only move one eye. He learned to communicate and write this book about his experience and his thoughts on life. Didn‘t like the guy but appreciated his honesty. Better than sugar coating it all.

It was fine.

Here are my November #Roll100 books.

Surprisingly relevant to my life right now, I found this very touching and relatable.

Another #14Books14Weeks2023 book done and dusted. I never would have picked this up for myself. My friend who is a pediatrician gave it to me.

The part about her interaction with medical personnel, both good and bad, was interesting to me. But the sciencey parts about the brain, even incredibly simplified here, made me sleepy. And the La La part about accessing the “right brain” to reach a state of peace has been done elsewhere - not a new idea.

Vacation book #4

😢 This is not spoiler for the memoir, but I was so sad to learn Bauby died 2 days after his book was published. He was diligently searching for the keys to unlock the diving bell.

I‘ve been meaning to read this for far too long.

A brain scientist observes the events of her own stroke and recovery. A totally absorbing, and fascinating read.
