Turtle-Race Reading

In an attempt to leave more evidence of what I do, where I go, what I read...

I finished my first book of 2006:

My One-Night Stand With Cancer : A Memoir by Tania Katan

Decent, but then my entertainment tastes are skewed.
Is it morbid curiosity to want to read about a woman who has both breasts removed by the time she's my age?
Many thanks to the Little Rock Main Library for having this book on a 'new non-fiction' display. I may have never seen it otherwise.
