I just finished the non-fiction book “When breath becomes air” by Paul Kalanithi. Toward the end, I was covered in goose bumps and tears streaming. I need to find other books possibly along the same lines (Memoir or non-fiction only please) does anyone have any suggestions?

The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti will affect you deeply.
I remember reading “Impossible Vacation” by Spalding Gray when I was in college and it really affected me. Maybe I should revisit it to see if it has the same impact. That was almost 30 years ago.
