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.

評分 評分真是“如何說再見”的最佳典範。一直以為這書作者是女的,看到一多半纔發現原來“我”是兒子
评分Very flat. It's almost like I was reading his diary which is not a literature, but pure notes of everyday life.
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never imagined it was sort of a biography.
评分媽媽喜歡讀書,而且說不要對彆人太壞。對母親的紀念。
