How to Live: A Search for Wisdom from Old People by Henry Alford

2.0

The shining moments in these book were when the author allowed his subjects to speak. Their stories and their words were worth reading. Most of the time, however, it felt as if I was reading the authors journey, his opinions and his struggle with relationships and mortality. It's all well and good to struggle with relationships and mortality, but I didn't pick up the book to read about him and I wasn't particularly interested by his level of self injection into the narrative.
