The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe
4.0
It's about books and people who love books and cancer and death and life. It's about never having enough time to do it all, read it all, see it all, so make the most of what you have. It's about asking the questions and taking the time to get to know someone, even if you're tired or scared or busy. It's a love letter to a mother.
I don't know if I am a better person for reading this, but I found this to be hugely satisfying. I got some great titles of books I'm anxious to read and I had a pleasant trip down memory lane for ones that I already had and enjoyed. I was reminded again how huge a loss it is to lose your mother. How hugely horrible cancer is, and utterly amazing the human spirit can be.
I am grateful that this book was chosen for my book club. I don't think would have read it since I tend to not enjoy memoirs. And that would have been my loss.
