Recommendations for Books on Living with Chronic Illness

What books have you read that are about living with chronic illness? Looking for fiction and nonfiction - stories featuring characters with illness, memoirs, or patient education books. I’m currently reading The Invisible Kingdom by Meghan O’Rourke, and I love it so far.

Awesome! I’m definitely looking for more chronic illness books. I’m writing my own and am trying to get inspiration. 😂 I’m currently reading Everything Happens For A Reason (and other lies I’ve loved) by Kate Bowler. She wrote about having a sudden diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer. It’s kind of a downer lol, but the book is a bestseller. The next one I want to try is How To Be Sick. 😊

if you’re looking for inspiration, The Invisible Kingdom is a must! It’s a memoir mixed with information she’s obtained through interviewing patients & doctors

It’s not so much about illness but it is about chronic disability
