A life through books

"The End of Your Life Book Club" by Will Schwalbe is a must read! I first heard of this book in a write up in a magazine I used to subscribe to, and then suddenly it has been popping up everywhere. I didn't realize that it was non-ficton until I got my copy from the library.

This book recounts the author's story of spending two years enjoying his mother's company and companionship as she battles terminal cancer. Both Will and his mother Mary Ann love books and they form a sort of book club together between her chemotherapy appointments. The two book lovers discuss everything from children's books to religion in their book club and the reader is pulled in for the ride. At the end of the book is a list of all the works that their club discussed, and this list will certainly lead you to discover many wonderful tales.

Throughout the story, I ended up feeling as though I actually knew Mary Ann and one cannot help but wish they actually knew her in life, she is just so wonderful. You will be inspired.

A journey through life and death and books. An amazing book.
