Behind the Beautiful Forevers
by @lauralemons
The amazing thing about "Behind the Beautiful Forevers" is that Katherine Boo makes it read like fiction although it is completely non-fiction. Her talent as a writer makes the book compelling, making me eager to turn the page. I have never gotten such an up-close, intimate look at people's lives that are so much different. read more......
BOOK REVIEW: The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
It took me a while to get around to reading The Rosie Effect, and given that I loved The Rosie Project, this might strike some as odd - however, the fact I loved The Rosie Project is actually exactly why I was hesitant to read the second book.

The Death of Cancer - Vincent DeVita [Recommendation]
by @cristi
Out of the numerous science books written about cancer, this is one I would recommend. I am specifically saying science books because there are probably thousands of books written about miracle cures for cancers and most of them may not be written with, for the lack of a better formulation, good science conduit in mind. read more......
