I'm going to seize the opportunity to hijack the discussion. After all, I work for the government.

If you, or someone you care about, has dealt with cancer at some point in their lives, comedian Robert Schimmel has a book titled Cancer on $5 a Day (*chemo not included).

It is NOT suitable for anyone with delicate sensibilities, but it's a pretty personal glimpse into his experiences, and is outrageously funny (and sufficiently profane that many would regard it as offensive). At the same time, it is often very, very moving. It's a good read.
