Since the MCAT is over (hopefully forever!!), I have a lot of extra time on my hands....was wondering if any of the SDN's have book recommendations? I definitely want to pick up some good readings ...Thanks

monaheel said:You've got great tastes in books . I completely forgot that there was a sequel to House of God; I think I'm going to head to B&N later tonight and see if they have it (and consume way more caffeine then I should =P). Although the last thing I need is another distraction from studying for the MCAT haha.

rpost3 said:A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. Funniest book on the planet. And I mean people-in-Starbucks-looking-at-me-like-I'm-crazy-for-laughing-out-loud-all-the-time funny. Google it and check out the reviews. I've read it twice.
Life of Pi I thought was very good.
Donnie Brasko is unbelievable. Much more in depth than the movie. How that guy survived I'll never know. Dude has the biggest balls ever.
Xswim57 said:I read Life of Pi, and found it to be a very good book as well. The other book I highly recommend is Mountains Beyond Mountains. It is a true story of a physician, Dr. Paul Farmer, who has done work all throughout the world (Haiti, Rwanda, Peru, Russia). A very inspirational book.
And if you like Hemingway at all, The Sun Also Rises is one of my favorites.
A Walk in the Woods and The World is Flat are definitely on my list of books to read.
monaheel said:I agree, Life of Pi and Mountains Beyond Mountains are great books! Also, Dancing Skeletons is a good book along the lines of Mountains Beyond Mountains if you have an interest in the public health arena, but if I could only recommend one, stick to Paul Farmer!
