(Pre-Pod) Summer Reading List

[brittany24]

Hey All!

Incoming podiatry student here, curious from podiatry students or any other pre-pods if you have any suggestions for books to read before starting school in the fall. Could be suggestions for classics, novels, self-improvement, medical related - but not textbooks (for example Stiff by Mary Roach).

I'm finishing up a fantastic gap year and am enjoying a lot of free time before the madness begins. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

"Hot lights, cold steel" was decent. Light enough reading that it went fast, but medical enough that it gets you excited for school.

"Genius on the edge"
This book is about the father of surgery and no body ever knows about him.
