Finished

Like A Hole In The Head: Living With A Brain TumourFinished reading Ivan Noble's book of his online diary, Like A Hole In The Head: Living With A Brain Tumour, last night. To give you an idea of how long it takes me to read a book at present, and if you can remember that far back, I'd bought it back in May last year, around the first anniversary of Jules funeral.

An emotional read, I'd be kidding anyone if I said any different. And had me wondering what would Jules' weblog have turned out like if she'd been more able to express herself directly, rather than through me and my emotions. Interesting, to read on the BBC site, the potential impact of all these print and online accounts can have on sufferers and carers alike.

Surfing Amazon for a link for the above, I've noticed a few other books, accounts of people's battles with tumours. Not sure if I'm ready to buy another book like this one, but I'll keep my eye out. And besides, as many of you know, I've a mountain of literature to get into at home, without worrying about adding another title to the pile ;-)
