The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

5.0

We each bring our own experiences & atttitudes to each book we read. Timing of when we read a particular story often plays a role in what we take away from it. It is interesting to read the sometimes differing, sometimes similar reactions to stories the author has vs. his Mom. For this book, I find myself about the same age as the author, having already read a dozen of the books mentioned throughout, & most importantly, w/ a mother whose lung cancer will most assuredly eventually steal her from us. At times I would have to set this book down bcz I could no longer read through my tears. The passage about the last dr. apt was especially hard. It left a lump in my throat & tears streaming down my face. But I really liked this book! It's a very moving tribute to the author's Mom, who he so obviously loves & respects. There are a lot of good book recommendations in it, too!
