In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife
by Sebastian Junger
Really enjoyed this. The way it’s separated is quite interesting. The first half focuses on Junger’s experience and is very tense, and is quite focused on who and what make up a life, and therefore a death. The second half focuses more on theoretical explanations for Junger’s experience, but is somehow just as if not more personal.
I honestly wasn’t sure about the author when I picked up the book—just two very different walks of life—but something really drew me to it. I kept it for months, and in the middle of reading it I came close to dying myself.
The unexpected feelings that came with his experience resonated with me deeply across all of my own experiences, and as a whole the book was honestly a master class in good nonfiction writing. I couldn’t be more pleased that I picked it up.
It obviously didn’t offer answers, but it did approach the topic from several angles that were all interesting.
