Still Alice by Lisa Genova (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor) This is a wonderful book about a 50 year old lady who is a Professor at Harvard and develops early onset Alzheimer's. The book is well written and gives a good portrait of all the difficulties for a person with Alzheimer's and also how it affects the loved ones. -- Added by Duckyb on 02/06/2013 Add Comment I read this last year and loved the book. This author makes you feel like you are going through this situation with the character and their family. This author also wrote Left Neglected and it is wonderful too. It is about a woman in a car accident that awakens to find she has problems with the left side of her body. -- burnnotice on 02/09/2013

Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) Very good book set in Mississippi during the 1970s and 20 years later.
