'What Makes Life Worth Living In The Face Of Death?'
Paul Kalanithi had definitely figured it out; to live the life to its fullest in a battle againts the passing time. It's heartbreaking yet aspiring the same time, to have the ability -- the will -- of rerouting our way of living life when a significant changes took place. To always make sure this life has its meaning through out the live till death fall upon our face.
It was quiet a journey for me reading this book -- countless of time I had to put the book down and then picked it up again and again, and along the line how I had to mental-talk myself as how emotionally affected I was while reading this book.
I cried my eyes reading this book, especially when I was approching the end of Paul's writing, and reading the epilogue I was afraid that I have yet to put the book down once again but I chose to continue, to finish this beautifully written memoir -- and I am glad that I finished it eventually, though emotionally.
