Fict - Still Alice by Lisa Genova

I usually don't do "disease" books, but this came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It's a heart-wrenching story of a Harvard psychology professor who contracts Alzheimer's disease.

The progression of events from when she starts to forget things, how she handles the diagnosis while still cognitive, and her eventual descent into a world of innocence and wonderment, plays out against the backdrop of how her husband, children, and colleagues view her. 

It's not truly depressing, just eye-opening. And the story stays with you long after you have finished the book, and have forgotten where you put your car keys.
