not to overshare here, but I just had some fairly extensive melanoma surgery, so thought I would look again at this book, and maybe others by Sontag, and maybe The Emperor of all Maladies. The good news: I'm not too sick to read a lot, and I have to stay down a lot. This can work as a secret excuse, when non readers feel sorry for you because you can't be bustling around.
