Don't Leave Me This Way

This book was sitting in a cubical at an office where I've been freelancing:
I glanced through it and knew I had to read it. Well-written. Funny. Scary. The author had a stroke after taking over the counter cold medication. This just happened to the brother of a friend of mine (thankfully he’s okay). Cold season is pretty much over, but if you are feeling stuffy, drink lots of fluids, rest, and stay away from meds. And if you’re looking to be inspired – or seeking advice on how to navigate the world of doctors/hospitals/physical therapists – read the book.

The author didn't name the brand in the book, but there was a People magazine article that did name (I think the article is on her site). I think the brand she took is now off the market, but the brands my friend's bro took are still on the market.

SCARY! Thank you for the warning!

I need the recommendation of a great novel, got one? Or two? I need a short break from memoir. Short. Promise.
