When Breath Becomes Air

Paul Kalanithi

At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir.

Are you a polyreader?

Are you one of those people who only reads one book at a time or do you have a bunch on the go at once?

I think of myself as a polyreader (and I blame it on my ADHD). I have 14 on the go at the moment, although one of those is a reread. If you do read more than one book at a time - do you ever have problems picking up from where you left off?

Basketball

Such an amazing book that quickly became one of my top all-time favorite reads ~for many non-basketball related reasons . . . but I do love basketball and was so engrossed in the basketball history trickled throughout this thought-provoking memoir. As a Michigander, I especially loved learning about the Fab 5! I'm posting to see if there are any other basketball fans here! I'm watching the WNBA play-offs now and hope to see the Aces and the Mercury in the finals for a fun playful experience where I'd be happy for either team's victory ~We'll see after tonights game

There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension

Hanif Abdurraqib

A poignant, personal reflection on basketball, talent and allegiance, and of course, LeBron James—from the author of the National Book Award finalist A Little Devil in America While Hanif Abdurraqib is an acclaimed author, a gifted poet, and one of our culture’s most insightful critics, he is most of all, at heart, an Ohioan. Growing up in Columbus in the 1990s, Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball, one in which legends like LeBron were forged, and countless others weren’t. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical, historical, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it, who we think deserves success, the tensions between excellence and expectation, and the very notion of role models, all of which he expertly weaves together with memoir. “Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father’s jumpshot,” Abdurraqib writes. “The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.” There’s Always This Year is a classic Abdurraqib triumph, brimming with joy, pain, solidarity, comfort, outrage, and hope. It’s about basketball in the way They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us is about music and A Little Devil in America is about history—no matter the subject, Abdurraqib’s exquisite writing is always poetry, always profound, and always a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture, our country, and ourselves.

UnWholly (Unwind, #2)

Neal Shusterman

It’s finally here. The long-awaited sequel to the bestselling Unwind, which Publishers Weekly called a “gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller.” Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa—and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp—people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while simltaneously providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished. Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity and meaning and wonders if a rewound being can have a soul. And when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter cause Cam’s fate to become inextricably bound with the fates of Connor, Risa, and Lev, he’ll have to question humanity itself. Rife with action and suspense, this riveting companion to the perennially popular Unwind challenges assumptions about where life begins and ends—and what it means to live.

Curious about your PB journey ✨

Hi everyone! 🥰

I’ve been really enjoying my time on Pagebound; the community vibe here is just so fun and unique, it always keeps me coming back. So I’m curious to hear from you all: how long have you been on PB, what made you create an account, and why do you actively comment, post, or join quests instead of just lurking?

I imagine most of you probably saw PB on Instagram or TikTok, or maybe a friend told you about it? I wonder if anyone here actually knows each other in real life!

For me, I joined around mid/late July during my exam period. I saw an Instagram ad, loved the design, and was in a reading slump, so I thought it might help – and it really did! I started off mostly lurking, but after exams I made my first post and got so many lovely comments that I immediately felt part of the community. I started recognizing some names, and it’s became such a nice feeling to feel connected and included here!

How's it going?

Hello! How have y'all been enjoying this quest so far? I'm unfamiliar with all of the books (Not surprisingly so since I'm still pretty new to reading) but I am VERY intrigued by the skeleton badge lol Which books have you liked the most? I really appreciate any insight!

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

Found what I'm making for dinner tonight! This book does a good job of using common household ingredients -no grocery store run needed today :) I've been missing Alfredo sauce -unsure how to mimic the creamy cheesiness. I do use vegan cream and vegan cheeses occasionally but they tend to be more expensive and I like working with veggies more. I find vegan cooking to be so fun as it truly is transforming food!

Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning

Cathy Park Hong

Poet and essayist Cathy Park Hong blends memoir, cultural criticism, and history to expose the truth of racialized consciousness in America. Binding these essays together is Hong's theory of "minor feelings." As the daughter of Korean immigrants, Cathy Park Hong grew up steeped in shame, suspicion, and melancholy. She would later understand that these "minor feelings" occur when American optimism contradicts your own reality—when you believe the lies you're told about your own racial identity. Hong uses her own story as a portal into a deeper examination of racial consciousness in America today. This book traces her relationship to the English language, to shame and depression, to poetry and artmaking, and to family and female friendship in a search to both uncover and speak the truth.
