This meme is hosted by Book Journey.Well, I just finished the most amazing book I've read since,,, well a while. It is "The Brain that Changes Itself" by Norman Doidge and it's NON-FICTION. I have always enjoyed learning about our brains, but this goes WAY beyond what I ever fathomed possible. It is a series of true stories of people who have overcomes impossible odds - strokes, amputations, and one woman who was born with half a brain and how she functions let alone, survives. I give it FIVE stars. Doidge explains brain growth, addictions, our senses, and some other freaky things that are fascinating. I'm not a scientist, or profess in any way to understand a lot of it, but as a human being with a brain I am truly enlightened.

That sounds really interesting - glad to have you join us this week :)
I just started The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Also non-fiction, but so accessible it reads like a novel. Fascinating!
