It's about an old but very healthy man who's about to turn 100 years old and there's supposed to be a big celebration which the old man doesn't want so he leaves the retirement home and set off on an road trip of sorts. At the same time the story of the man's life is told, how he met important people and influenced big events through out the 20th century. ![[image loading]](http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3056/hundraaringen.jpg) | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.demog.berkeley.edu/~eddieh/images/covers/TheDivingBellAndTheButterfly.jpg) This book is basically a journal of a french man named Jean-Dominique bauby who suffered a stroke that left him in lock-in symdrome, leaving him completely paralyzed except his left eye and brain are still functioning. His only means of communicating is by having someone recite the alphabet and having him blink his eye at the letter he wants to use eventually making full sentences. He wrote this whole book by painstakingly using JUST his left eye, and he created one of the most moving and personal books I've ever read. Highly recommend. I also highly recommend the movie. I wish i hadn't watched the movie before reading the book though =/ | ||

Tempted to pick up a Vonnegut book (probably Slaughter House Five) as they're usually pretty fast reads which is good for being short on time. Edit: @Pobearo: Neuromancer good? I keep being told I should read that. I enjoy SciFi quite a lot . | ||

I found both very interesting and would love to read anything similar. | ||
