Still Alice by Lisa Genova

What a powerful book on such a tough subject.  You hear about Alzheimer’s Disease and you think older people.  This book, which has also been made into a movie, tells the story of a woman who is at the height of her career as a college professor when she is struck with this disease at the age of 50.  The author provides a really insightful and intuitive account of the world of early onset Alzheimer’s Disease, and how it takes your whole identity away.  It was really sad to read, but I finished it in three short days.  Definitely worth it.
