Important announcement!:
 

Attention! We will be closed Sunday, February 5th, 2017.  We have to count all our books to make sure what is here matches up with what our computer thinks is here.  For this we need total concentration.  We will be closed on this day.  Thank you for your understanding.

Greetings from Neil

A customer once told me I had perfect hair. Karl has just informed me that that fact alone does not a newsletter make. Let me see here. . . what else do I need? A book review? Yes! This issue we have some thoughts on When Breath Becomes Air. On February 18 we take our cart of books to the Toronto Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis to be present for Mark Solms' eagerly anticipated talk. Hot off the press we have How Can I Help?, the paperback version of David Goldbloom and Pier Bryden's instant classic from last year. It has been visually reinvented with an endorsement from Maestro Yo-Yo Ma on the back. I have the hardcover but I kind of want the paperback as well. This is the shallow side of book addiction my friends. Below is a list of books hot off the press that we believe you should be aware of. Above is a table of contents that links to much more reading material. Maybe you forgot your book at home and you are in a waiting room somewhere?: “Darnn it! I wish I had not picketed against e-books because I could sure use one now!”, you think to yourself. Well, the extended mix of the newsletter might be for you in this case. As always, we totally love you.

Book Review: When Breath Becomes Air

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi


Paul Kalanithi was a neurosurgeon who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and he wrote this book to recount and discuss his life in its entirety. Not only his life but life and death in general.  I read this book in pieces.  Everyone who saw it open in my hands told me I would do so.  It was made known that I should expect to cry and I certainly did.  What was interesting to me were the points at which emotion struck.  It didn't always happen by way of my normal triggers.  Reading about  his discussions with his wife after having just gotten the news is very moving indeed.  Kalanithi's is an eloquent telling of a short life lived so well.  Normal events become exceptional as they are gifted, in transit, with the author's appreciation of them.  I was not prepared for the poetic way in which our neurosurgeon enlists the reader to appreciate the miniscule narrative contained in almost any action performed by one's neighbour.  His simple descriptions of the hospital staff during his first visit to Obstetrics and Gynaecology easily triple the significance of whomever is at the centre of his focus.  The wise and humble telling of his reactions to the bad and, less bad, news he receives throughout his illness cannot help but inspire.  It is ultimately heartbreaking to know the world didn't have such a precisely considerate soul for longer than 23 days shy of 38 years.  I hate to make grand claims unless I'm being sarcastic but; everyone should read this book.
