The End of Your Life Book Club
by Will Schwalbe
Will Schwalbe's The End of Your Life Book Club is one of the most satisfying books I have read in a long time. He writes of the time he spent with his mom as she is trying to live as she is dying from pancreatic cancer. He wrote of this experience through the lens of the books they read or talked about together at the end of her life. I felt in each chapter as if I was sitting listening to the conversations right along with them, which made me eager to pick the book up once I had started reading it. Schwalbe said in an interview that he is on a crusade of sorts to convince people that conversations around books help people talk about what matters to them when they don't want to talk about themselves. This book convinced me of how true that is, if only we have the time.
