I'm reading a book for my Adult Dev. and Aging class, entitled "Big AL". It is a caregiver's diary of the daily dealings she has with her husband who has Alzheimer's.
It has really opened my eyes, and made me think a lot about what I would do if my husband were to get this brain disease. Some people go through so much, and I marvel at how little my life has been tried. I'm sure someday soon, it will be my turn.
I love books that make you think and re-evaluate yourself. Although I much prefer to read literature which isn't sad (as this one is), I have enjoyed the insight it has given me. I have realized that all different types of media, (even books) can really influence my mood.
