5.0

This was a beautiful book about a son spending time with his mother who was dying of pancreatic cancer. They formed their own book club and their conversations led them to become closer. I identified so much with his descriptions about how much his mother loved books and how important they were to her.

Like the author’s mother, I believe books are the most powerful tool we have for learning. Any book. Books really do matter. I love their discussions. I had read more than half the books they discussed and plan to tackle many of the ones I haven’t. Definitely a book I will recommend to fellow book lovers. I wish I had had this experience with my own Mom before she passed away.
