The Futilitarians: Our Year of Thinking, Drinking, Grieving, and Reading by Anne Gisleson

2.0

Heavy on philosophy. I admit I felt a little lost, but I may not be the target audience. I enjoyed the memoir sections spurred by the readings more than I enjoyed the discussions of the readings themselves. Heavier that what I usually read, and a little bit of a struggle to get through at times, although other parts were wonderful and compelling. The discussions of suicide, the twins, death row inmates, were all highlights for me in searching for meaning in this book.
