文/严杰夫 《生命最后的读书会》是这样一本书,它记录了一场发生在母子二人间的“读书会”。作者即故事的主人公施瓦贝尔是出版公司的总编辑,他母亲则曾是哈佛招生办的负责人,且长期从事国际公益事业。有一天,母亲不幸被查出罹患胰腺癌。此后,在作者每次陪同母亲去医院治疗...
评分这是一本如果读完不为之起立致敬,都显得不够富有诚意的书。虽然看名字会以为这是一本心灵鸡汤类书籍,但其实它是以平静叙事的方式,来讲述一个儿子眼中一位母亲在确诊罹患癌症后的接近两年时间里,对于自己事业的一如既往的态度,和两个人之间建立的“读书会”的品评。没有一...
评分夏天的尾巴依旧燥热,让人癫狂。所以我一直猜测土耳其作家帕慕克在说“如果你读到的某本书或某页文章还不错,就要让自己乐在其中,找到幸福,哪怕一天也好。”时,是不是也正处于让人暴戾浮躁的天气中。 有时候,没有一场大雨,没有一部清凉的电影时,如果有那么一本书,看后...

图书标签: 英文原版 面对死亡 阅读 外国文学 WillSchwalbe 家庭 小说 生活
During her treatment for cancer, Mary Anne Schwalbe and her son Will spent many hours sitting in waiting rooms together. To pass the time, they would talk about the books they were reading. Once, by chance, they read the same book at the same time—and an informal book club of two was born. Through their wide-ranging reading, Will and Mary Anne—and we, their fellow readers—are reminded how books can be comforting, astonishing, and illuminating, changing the way that we feel about and interact with the world around us. A profoundly moving memoir of caregiving, mourning, and love—The End of Your Life Book Club is also about the joy of reading, and the ways that joy is multiplied when we share it with others.
真是“如何说再见”的最佳典范。一直以为这书作者是女的,看到一多半才发现原来“我”是儿子
评分三星半,断断续续竟然读了快一年的时间,是莫名醒来的清晨或是某个睡不着的夜晚随手可以读的书。
评分20121210. Read 15%. "Reading is not the opposite of doing; it's the opposite of dying." good story, but could have been written lot better.
评分I want to have a relationship with my son like the one the author has with his mother.
